Daughters Beyond Incarceration

Founded in 2018, Daughters Beyond Incarceration (DBI) located in New Orleans, Louisiana, focuses on breaking the cycle of poverty and crime amongst daughters with incarcerated parents by advocating for girls and building strong parent-to-child relationships between them – through education, mentorship, and support. DBI ensures that girls between the ages of 8 and 18 physical, social, and emotional needs are met to support their healing due to the impacts of incarceration of their loved ones. We also educate our participants on the social and political landscape while engaging in the legislative process in Louisiana. In addition, our youth professional development program works to model the change we want to see through an each-one-teach one style of training. Through our youth professional development, we introduce our mentees to workforce development, life skills and youth advocacy development. Currently, DBI has about 125 participants that we serve through our programming.
