Recently, Dartigue joined forces with the AFRO to bring women in leadership together for a discussion on how to help the women and children in Black and Brown communities that are disproportionately affected by criminal justice policies. The event, held Sept. 26, included leaders like Qiana Johnson (right), founder of Life After Release. (Photos by James Fields)
