CRT can easily be presented as a practice of conflict. Contextualizing issues of race, law and policy can be very challenging for some and bring people to feel defensive, confused or upset.
However, today’s Mini Feature guests continue the conversation on re-entry into community and family reunification, and help us learn how CRT can play out in our everyday relationships, between lawyers and clients and especially between mom and daughter. We speak with Shameeka and her 11 year-old daughter, Empress, two powerful voices for resilience, healing and racial justice.
SHAMEEKA FRANCE
Advocate and founder of Success After Prison
Shameeka is joined by her daughter Empress
“I just tried to do everything possible to let her know that I’m never going back. But it’s a healing process. It’s a forever healing process.”
