December has been full of meaningful moments at The LOHM! From our historic visit to Taconic Women’s Prison for Women Over Dinner to celebrating FOWI graduates Mary Valdovinos and Monica Banks, featured in the Clean Slate Initiative PSA. We also partnered with the Team Armstead Foundation for a heartwarming Holiday Giveback, bringing joy to 25 children from justice-impacted families.

After spending 16 years incarcerated, Candace Williams thought she was ready for the Pathways 4 Equity program—but quickly realized there was a lot she didn’t know, like how to send an email. Undeterred, she took the Google digital skills course and returned stronger, eventually joining the program. "P4E taught me how to build a resume, nail interviews, and speak my truth without being defined by my past." Through the program, Candace gained confidence, made meaningful connections with other women on similar journeys, and is now empowered to move forward in her career. ✨ Want to change your life like Candace?

These women bring resilience, fresh perspectives, and a drive for success. They’re ready to make an impact, yet many businesses are overlooking this untapped talent. If you’re serious about diversity and innovation, ask yourself: Why wouldn’t you hire justice-impacted women? It’s not just about second chances—it’s about unlocking your workforce’s full potential. Share this with an HR professional or hiring manager who needs to hear this.
