Speakers Bureau - Learn About Our Expert Speakers
The LOHM's Global Speakers Bureau was created by and for women affected by the criminal justice system.
Powerful stories of transformation that will inspire any audience.

Inspiring Talks on Justice and Redemption
Our speakers bureau offers professionally trained public speakers who:
- Address the impact of poverty, incarceration, and sexual violence on women and girls
- Share their experience of arrest, incarceration, and reentry
- Offer compelling policy recommendations to transform the intersecting systems that comprise the criminal justice
- Tell inspiring and deeply personal stories about their own journeys
The LOHM prepares and provides tools for women to market themselves as public speakers and to be compensated for their public appearances. Built on the same entrepreneurial foundation as all our work, the LOHM prepares women to shift their own narrative from the story of "what happened" to one of renewal and the constructive role formerly incarcerated people can play in society.

I was fortunate to discover The Ladies of Hope Ministries, a program that empowered me to find my voice and uplift my experiences along with those of countless children. Their voices evolve into activism and policymaking, championing the rights of the unheard, unseen, and forgotten.

We're building a platform that amplifies the voices of those with lived experience to transform our system. With support from criminal justice reform agencies like The Ladies of Hope Ministries, programs like Faces of Women Imprisoned, and initiatives such as the New York City Justice Peer Initiative, we can create lasting change.

2024 Graduate
The FOWI program taught me that true transformation begins within. It pushed me to put in the work, refine my circle, and celebrate every milestone without waiting for external validation. By embracing my own growth and dismissing negativity, I discovered that lasting change happens when you honor your efforts and surround yourself with positive energy.
