She Is Me is a collection of first-person stories by women who've experienced the justice system. Through shared narratives, we're building a platform where women can reclaim their stories - free from stigma, shame, and silence. This project includes a book launching March 2026, an ongoing storytelling platform, and a podcast series - all created to amplify voices that deserve to be heard.
20-30 stories to be collected
Launching International Women's Day 2026

Featured Stories

Voices of resilience, hope, and transformation

Finding My Voice

"For years, I believed the shame was mine to carry alone. But the women I met inside taught me that our stories aren't just ours—they're medicine for someone else who needs to know they're not broken. Now I'm rebuilding, one honest conversation at a time."

Letters to My Daughter

"Every Sunday, I write my daughter a letter. She's seven now, and I've missed three birthdays. These letters are promises—to her, to myself—that when I get out, I'll be the mother she deserves, not the one who disappeared."

The Job Interview

"The woman across the desk asked about the gap in my resume, and I made a choice: I told her the truth. I expected judgment. Instead, she said, 'Thank you for your honesty. Now tell me what you're good at.'"

Sisterhood Behind Bars

"They tell you prison is about punishment, but no one prepared me for the women who became my family. We celebrated birthdays with instant coffee and smuggled chocolate. We cried together, laughed together, and taught each other how to survive what came next."

The Housing Application

"Tick the box: Have you ever been convicted of a crime? I stared at that question for twenty minutes. Tick the box and lose the apartment. Leave it blank and live with fear. There has to be another way to prove I'm more than my worst mistake."

Start your journey to today

Women in the justice system are often defined by their past not their potential. Through She Is Me, we're creating a platform where women can share their journeys on their own terms. Every story challenges stigma, builds understanding, and opens doors to systemic change.
