In this episode of Amplified Voices, Jason and Amber speak with Tiheba Bain, a mother, student, activist and advocate for formerly incarcerated women and girls. Tiheba shares her experiences: being raised by her grandmother in Brooklyn, a difficult struggle with addiction, her time behind the walls and the long journey to find her way.
Tiheba is the founder of Women Against Mass Incarceration, a nonprofit organization, located in Bridgeport, CT that exists to empower, change and re-shape the lives of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and families. They are a partner organization of the National Council of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women & Girls. You can find them at http://www.wamict.org.
