About
Ladies Loving and Living was founded in 2022 by three formerly incarcerated women to support recently released women facing immense challenges after release, including poverty, violence, and high recidivism rates. Recognizing the need for support services to help break destructive cycles, LLL provides a healing space offering therapy, life skills training, and financial literacy. Our goal is to empower women with the resources needed to overcome challenges, avoid re-incarceration, and live healthy, stable lives.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
Ladies Loving and Living empowers formerly incarcerated women by providing care packages, business opportunities, and wellness support to help them thrive after incarceration. Guided by compassion, we uplift these courageous women as they transition to society, fostering confidence, self-sufficiency, and hope for a brighter future.
Our Vision
Ladies Loving and Living envisions communities where formerly incarcerated women are embraced as valuable members of society and supported in leading fulfilling, empowered lives. We envision a future where these courageous women have access to the resources and opportunities they need to achieve economic stability, personal wellness, and positive connections that enable them to thrive.
