The Womxn’s Cohort Partnership

Light To Life builds a connection to the community with healing justice approaches in the movement to prevent gender-based violence. They cultivate a supportive community that teaches, guides and equips survivors, justice-involved women, professionals, girls, and gender-expansive youth through a journey of self-awareness.

Their programing adds to their inherited strengths, skills and tools to navigate their triggers and trauma, and empower them towards a journey of safety, joy, and overall healing.

​From Prison Cells to PhD (P2P) provides mentoring and educational counseling to currently & formerly incarcerated men & women so that they may position themselves to start building their career as opposed to obtaining temporary employment. 

Their mission is to help inspire others with similar backgrounds to excel beyond what society and life circumstances have set to be the norm​. They seek to reach, touch, and change the lives of individuals with disadvantaged backgrounds through advocacy, mentoring, and policy change. 

Through this vital partnership, Light To Life’s virtual programming and P2P’s Womxn’s cohort have created inclusive safe spaces for justice-impacted survivors by providing monthly survivor-centered workshops, our Ambassador Program and healing justice approaches and resources for positive health outcomes. The partnership between Light To Life and From Prison Cells to PhD has allowed universities to invest in our programming to show the impact. Universities such as Johns Hopkins and  Morgan State University, Center for Urban Health Disparities Research & Innovation. These Community-University Partnerships recognize the importance of our mission.
