The event was open to everyone, regardless of whether they have been incarcerated or not. It is a privilege to be able to award such deserving individuals and to witness the unifying power of those who have faced similar struggles. It was great to witness the love in the room and to see Kel’li Sherrene and Zarinah Lomax. We had a chance to catch up and celebrate the amazing men and women that were awarded for their triumphant transformations and dedication to the community.
In conclusion, Locked Down Love: The Trap Queen Weekend was both inspiring and entertaining. Glad to have had a chance to be a part of this powerful celebration of hope and resilience.
