We are excited to bring you a heartwarming recap of our recent event, made possible by the generous support of Reform Alliance. Last month, The LOHM had the privilege of taking justice-impacted moms and their children to the highly anticipated Brooklyn Nets vs Denver Nuggets game.

This event created an extraordinary opportunity for these families to enjoy a memorable night out during the holiday season.

The atmosphere was electric as our community came together to witness the thrilling match and share in the joy of the game.

The smiles on the faces of the moms and children were priceless, and the impact of this game resonated far beyond the arena. It was a heartening reminder of the positive change we can create when we unite for a common cause.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Reform for making this event possible and for contributing to the well-being of our justice-impacted community.

Stay tuned for more updates on our initiatives and the continued positive impact we aim to foster together!

In case you missed it, the Pathways 4 Equity (P4E) Business Roundtable on Breaking Barriers was an incredible success, and we wanted to provide you with a recap of the highlights.

Our esteemed panelists, including Dr. Topeka K. Sam, Kito J. Bess, Jessica Jackson, Ann Aiken, Ken Oliver, and Sheena Meade, shared profound insights on breaking down barriers and creating equitable employment opportunities.

The roundtable shed light on the legal barriers faced by women with a criminal background and explored collaborative strategies to prepare returning citizens for viable employment opportunities.

We are thrilled to bring you an extraordinary evening in the company of our esteemed founder and CEO, Dr. Topeka K. Sam. Join us on Monday, February 5, 2024, for an inspiring talk by the nationally renowned criminal justice reformist herself, hosted by Free Food Harlem, followed by a sumptuous three-course meal.

Dr. Topeka K. Sam, a beacon of change and compassion, embarked on her mission in 2015 after her release from federal prison. In her relentless pursuit of justice, she founded The LOHM, a non-profit committed to eradicating the poverty crisis and the unjust incarceration of women and girls.

Beyond her non-profit endeavors, Dr. Sam co-founded FRSH, a revolutionary retail bank dedicated to providing banking services to individuals ensnared in the criminal justice system, often facing discrimination from national banks.

The enlightening talk will conclude with a delectable three-course meal, courtesy of Free Food Harlem. Tickets for this exclusive event are priced at $75, with "pay what you can" options available at $10 per person. Your generous contributions will directly support Free Food Harlem, a 501(c)3 organization tirelessly providing over 500 meals per week to the Harlem community.
