Bryanna's story begins in the projects of Baltimore, where she grew up in a family plagued by poverty and violence. At a young age, she turned to drugs and alcohol to escape her pain. By the time she was 21, she was addicted to heroin and had been arrested multiple times.

In 2004, Bryanna was sentenced to five years in federal prison for drug conspiracy. While in prison, she hit rock bottom. She was separated from her young daughter, and she felt like her life was over.

But then, something changed. Bryanna found recovery from addiction through the 12-step program. She also began to educate herself about the criminal justice system and the challenges faced by incarcerated women.

When Bryanna was released from prison in 2009, she was determined to make a difference in the lives of other women who had been incarcerated. She founded the organization Women Overcoming Obstacles (WOO),which provides support and resources to women in prison and helps them to successfully reintegrate into society.

WOO has grown into a successful organization that has helped hundreds of women to rebuild their lives after prison. Bryanna has also become a leading voice in the fight for criminal justice reform. She has testified before Congress, and she has worked with the Obama and Biden administrations to improve conditions for incarcerated women.
