Empowerment Avenue normalizes the inclusion of incarcerated writers and artists in mainstream venues. We help publications center system-impacted voices as a path to decarceration and public safety. Through mentorship, partnerships, and editorial support, we help these creators tell solutions-focused stories that challenge injustice and inspire systemic change.
