What circumstances brought you to where you were before you joined Together We Bake?
Kanisha: It all started 4 years ago when I was released from Fairfax Detention Center. I had hoped to go to Guest House but wasn’t able to. Fortunately, they helped connect me to other re-entry services. They told me about TWB, I looked up the website and got excited. Unfortunately, I ended up back in a domestic violence situation after that. Fortunately, I am now free from that situation, I am a SURVIVOR. I recently heard from TWB again and knew it was my last chance to be a part of the program, so I went for it!

Meet Joanna
Joanna graduated from our Fall 2020 program. At the start of the program, she was shy and hesitant to speak out. Eventually, she warmed up to her team and learned to lean on the other women for support. Joanna is inquisitive, curious, and very smart. We are proud of the confidence she gained and can’t wait to see what she does in the future! Read more about Joanna’s story below.
