Terah Lawyer is the first to tell you that her lived experience as a formerly incarcerated woman, absolutely fell into the ‘wrong place, wrong crowd, wrong time’ adage. Terah spent 15 years behind the wall, but realized early on, in her incarceration, that her mission was, as she states, “to love on the women” who were behind the wall with her. Taking that leadership role in prison and continuing to educate herself, receiving two associate degrees, was pivotal in preparing her for the work she would take on, once released. That work, in reentry and rehabilitation led Terah to advocate for other justice impacted individuals and not surprisingly it didn’t take long for her to take on the role of Associate Director of The Homecoming Project, an initiative that provides formerly incarcerated people with room to rent with matching housemates. From there Terah was asked to join CROP (Creating Restorative Justice and Programs) and was just recently promoted from Executive Director to President.
