DPA is pleased to introduce one of our two new Board members: @kemba_smith! In 1994, Kemba was sentenced to 20+ years for a first-time drug charge. In 2000 she had her sentence commuted and now advocates for formerly incarcerated people. 

Before the 2020 election, Kemba Smith advocated for the right for formerly incarcerated people to regain the right to vote in their states.  Ms. Smith challenged the incoming Biden Administration to increase the number of clemencies granted to people charged with nonviolent drug offenses, and bypass the bureaucratic DOJ process. 

BET is making a made for TV movie about Kemba Smith’s life! BET will feature her life story as a part of their storytelling about people dedicated to "civil justice and social change.”

 We’re honored to have her join DPA’s Board!

How do you celebrate your 20 years of freedom when you know that there is still so much work that needs to be done? I’m grateful for the lives that God has allowed me to impact over the years. I am humbled and to be completely transparent, I’m a mixed bag of emotions, too. Special thank you to my parents, who understand my journey and have unconditionally supported me to this day! #freedom #Godsgraceandmercy
