In recognition of Prisoner Justice Day, DESTA was proud to support “Bridging the Gap: Employment Pathways After Incarceration,” hosted by our Research and Advocacy Fellow, Erykah Yasmine.

The gathering featured a presentation exploring employer-facing barriers to hiring and retaining formerly incarcerated individuals, and a powerful conversation with advocate Wayne "DOC" James, who shared his entrepreneurial journey after incarceration.

At DESTA, justice is at the core of our mission. We are committed to creating spaces where research, lived experience, and community knowledge come together to challenge barriers and advance meaningful opportunities.

Thank you to Erykah, Doc, and everyone who joined us and contributed to this important conversation. We look forward to creating more opportunities for connection, dialogue, and action.
