Our Motherβs Advisory Committee met on May 31 to share feedback on Storybook@Home, discuss the realities of motherhood during and after incarceration, and help shape the future of our programs.
We're grateful for their honesty, wisdom, and leadership.

Our next read is The Garden of Second Chances by Mona Alvarado Frazier β a story of an incarcerated mother who finds healing by growing a garden from the prison yard. π±
It connects beautifully to the heart of our mission, and we can't wait to discuss it together.

Thank you to Antonia A., Amaya T., Marley H., and Miltonette C. for supporting families through a recent prison visit.
Every story recorded helps strengthen the bond between a mother and child.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Team Leader, Cathy McHorse.
We know that this loss will be felt deeply across not only the Women's Storybook Project, but also the greater Austin community. Cathy's care, compassion, and advocacy work will continue to live on. She spent so much of her life pouring into those around her. She will be greatly missed by so many.

βOne mom shared that when the 60-second warning comes before her call ends, she and her child say βI love youβ over and over until they canβt anymore.β
Moments like these are why this work matters.

Last week, we met with #TDCJ representatives to discuss beta testing #Toniebox audio figurines with a small group of families.
The goal: helping children stay connected to their incarcerated mothers through the power of stories and voice recordings.
