WE ALL DON'T END UP IN PRISON. WE ARE ALL NOT HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS. AND CHANGING THE NARRATIVE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO US. WE ARE DEFINITELY THE DEFINITION OF RESILIENT.

What We Do
Our Vision. Our Mission.
DBI’s vision is for every daughter with an incarcerated parent to livea healthy, stable life and have a strong, positive relationship with her parent during and after incarceration. DBI is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and crime by advocating for girls with incarcerated parents and building strong parent-to-child relationships through public education, leadership development, and implementing policy change.
Black people make up only 32% of Louisiana’s total population but account for over two-thirds of the prison population
Nearly 1 in 7 children in the state of Louisiana experience parental incarceration which is four times the national average
The number of children impacted by parental incarceration in the state of Louisiana
Since DBI started in May 2018, we have mentored over 70 girls impacted by parental incarceration in New Orleans and the surrounding areas.
Become a Mentee
DBI understands the unique barriers that girls with incarcerated parents face every day. Enroll your daughter and be a part of a community that supports young girls, ages 8 to 18, teaching them that not every challenge will be an uphill climb.
