About Me
Ipomoea Purpurea LLC was founded on the belief that no one should have to navigate incarceration or reentry alone. I understand how overwhelming these processes can be, and my goal is to provide thoughtful, organized, and compassionate non-legal support to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.
My Background
My work sits at the intersection of justice advocacy, system navigation, and writing. I collaborate with families and organizations focused on accountability, dignity, and reform, and I am actively involved in justice-focused leadership and advocacy efforts. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, with areas of study that included law, psychology, healthcare, and human behavior. I am currently pursuing a Juris Master’s degree with a specialization in education law. My education informs how I approach communication, decision-making, advocacy, and support during stressful or complex situations.
I currently serve in leadership and advisory roles within justice-focused organizations, including board service with the Florida Justice Institute, and I am a co-founder of Light After Life, a faith-rooted, family-led advocacy movement focused on advancing justice reform through restoration, accountability, and meaningful second chances.
I am also the author of When Mercy Met Me, a book that examines accountability after harm within a system built around permanent punishment. It considers how that structure shapes responsibility, harm, consequences, and the possibility of restoration.
How I Work
All support is structured and scheduled in advance, beginning with a brief intake. This allows me to prepare thoughtfully and provide focused, grounded support rather than reacting without the necessary information. I believe careful preparation leads to clearer communication and more effective advocacy.
Some people come with drafts, records, or notes they need help organizing and refining. Others come because they are unsure what to do, what questions to ask, or who to contact. Both are welcome. My goal is to meet people where they are and help them identify a practical and manageable path forward.
Boundaries and Scope
I am not an attorney and do not provide legal advice, legal representation, legal strategy, or court filing services.
My work focuses on non-legal advocacy and navigation support, including writing and editing assistance, communication support, document organization, resource research, and help understanding general systems and processes related to incarceration and reentry.
Individuals remain responsible for the legal content, accuracy, submission, and filing of any documents they prepare.
If you’re unsure whether this type of support is appropriate for your situation, you’re welcome to reach out. We can begin with a conversation and determine the best next step.
