Description

I formally met Mahiya and Cabren the Spring of 2018, when my brother, their Papa passed away. I knew their mother was incarcerated. I asked them, without thinking, how she was doing. One of them said "do you know where my mom is"? I explained to them that I did know and it was okay. I told them I worked with ladies incarcerated and I understand how they must feel. They talked about their visits, phone calls and the letters they share with their mom. Mahiya spoke about how uncomfortable she was discussing her mom with others. She said they were teased at school when their mom first went to prison. I promised them I would continue to stay in touch and was very happy they were in my life. We continued to communicate over the summer and the rest is history! The stigma that a child carries when their parent is incarcerated, is far too much for any child to deal with. I believe this journal will make Mahiya and Cabren stronger young ladies. As one of them stated; "With family and God, all things are possible"!Authored by: Dr. Robin J.
