About Jennifer
"So a little about me, I am the Mental Health Peer Policy Fellow at the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities, and I focus on school discipline (making sure kids aren't punished for mental health crisis, or manifestations of a disability) and mental health and intellectual developmental disabilities intersection, and basically anything related to criminal justice reform in these areas.
I am also a member of the Statewide Leadership Council, a group of formerly incarcerated advocates who work on policies and legislation that would help those who are system impacted.
And, I am a freelance writer. I love writing about my almost 20 years of incarceration, in hopes that it transforms societal ideas about those who have been in prison. I will include some links!"
