Embracing the Journey of Change


Advocacy is a journey, one that challenges me every day but also fills me with purpose. I knew from the start that standing up to a system as immense and flawed as the prison system wouldn’t be easy. But as each day passes, I’m reminded of why this fight matters — not only for my husband but for all those who suffer silently within the walls of these institutions. Every step forward is a chance to make their voices heard and to expose the truths that are often kept hidden.

Over time, I’ve reached out to everyone who might listen — state authorities, advocacy organizations, even the media. I’ve shared my husband’s story, the barriers he’s faced in accessing basic medical care, and the retaliation he endures as a result of my efforts to protect his rights. It’s both frustrating and heartbreaking to realize just how many people are in the same situation, with families on the outside fighting tirelessly on their behalf.

What I’ve learned is that true change requires both resilience and patience. Each letter, each phone call, each blog post is a brick in the road toward a better, more just system. But I can’t do it alone. This journey is one we must take together. Every person who reads these words, who shares this mission, and who believes in the importance of rehabilitation over punishment is part of the change we need.

Today, I’m embracing the journey itself. Every moment, every challenge, and every small victory fuels my hope. This journey isn’t just about overcoming the system’s barriers — it’s about showing that, together, we can be stronger than those walls. We can create a path toward a future where dignity and justice are available to all.

Thank you to everyone who has stood by me in this journey. Your support strengthens my resolve, and together, I believe we can make a real impact.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21
