Say their names! Brittany K. Barnett, MiAngel Cody, Dr. Brettjet Cody, Topeka Sam, Bella Bahhs, Autumn Dawkins, and countless other Black, yet unseen women, continue performing miracles in the way of criminal justice reform.
MiAngel Cody, attorney, writer, producer
Prisoners serving life sentences without parole were freed through a campaign called 90 Days of Freedom, launched by Kim Kardashian’s attorney, Brittany K. Barnett. The Decarceration Collective collaborated on the project as well.
Dr. Brettjet Cody, Licensed clinical psychologist, associate professor
This group consists of Black female lawyers, community organizers, criminal justice policy consultants, and more, tirelessly working to take down the prison industry.
Autumn Dawkins, Certified Public Accountant
This collective has worked for and been working long before the Alice Marie Johnson case. They left six-figure jobs and aren't looking to clean up a tarnished image. They are grateful for Kim K throwing money to the cause when not many others would though. They are not mad at her and say she knows her role.
Bella Bahhs, Community organizer
Just some of what these Black women have accomplished: to date, freed countless people from life without parole sentences from ridiculous drug laws, successful presidential clemencies, personally drove to pick some up from prison, gave re-entry stipends, follow-up after release.
Topeka Sam, Prison reform activist
Respect to these Black women in all they have done and continue to do to free our people!
