Since DBI started in May 2018, we have mentored over 70 girls impacted by parental incarceration in New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

WHAT WE DO

As a direct response to these statistics, Daughters Beyond Incarceration’s mission is to uplift and empower Black girls directly affected by parental incarceration. We are committed to breaking down barriers and cultivating a brighter future for young girls, aged 8 to 18.

WE ALL DON'T END UP IN PRISON. WE ARE ALL NOT HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS. AND CHANGING THE NARRATIVE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US. WE ARE DEFINITELY THE DEFINITION OF RESILIENT.
