How did you first hear about the Women’s Storybook Project? What made you decide to get involved?  I was looking for an internship for the summer and I learned about the program. As I read up on what it was, I was so touched by the movement and knew I wanted to be a part of it!  What’s one moment...

Serving on the board of the Women’s Storybook Project has been a deeply personal and meaningful experience for me, both as an educator and as a mother. Having spent my entire career in Title I schools—as a teacher, behavior specialist, coach, assistant principal, and mentor—I’ve seen firsthand the vital role that family connection plays in a child’s sense of stability...

I joined Women’s Storybook Project because I believe in redemption. Incarcerated women deserve a chance to connect with their children, and supporting literacy is a powerful way to do that. When kids are separated from their mothers, it can strip those women of their humanity. This project helps restore that connection.

I’m touched every time I go to the prisons and work with the moms. Being a former teacher of kids that had parents that were incarcerated, I know how much they missed their moms. One of the moms at Halbert told us that she never read to her kids before until WSP. She was in...

Team Leader Spotlight – Felicia Kutchey

Team Leader – Lane Murray  I learned of Women’s Storybook Project back at the beginning in 2003 when our founder and former Executive Director, Judith Dullnig at the time came to speak at my temple, Temple Beth Shalom. It really got me interested in being a volunteer after hearing how mothers would be connecting to their children by recording a...

Friendships at WSP: Lyrica Johnson and Sun Connor

It all began with volunteering. Lyrica was the Newsletter Chair, and we bonded over Adobe Creative Suite – creating quarterly newsletters and annual reports. Our work meetings soon became casual hangouts, and eventually, family gatherings with our kids. At WSP, we connect incarcerated mothers with their children and unite volunteers. Volunteering with us isn’t just about visiting prisons and recording...
