Working for incarcerated youth, Lateefah Simon is a hero for children's rights and rehabilitation
"I live in a country where we put children in shackles and in concrete cells. Working together, with righteousness and hope, we can create a country that is about reverence and reconciliation, not a world of shackles and concrete cells."
- Lateefah Simon -
As an advocate for young at-risk women (sex workers, drug dealers, the incarcerated) and young first-time drug offenders, Lateefah Simon has mentored countless troubled youth, helping them to find a sense of purpose and worth and become self-sufficient, productive citizens.
