New Monthly Resource Spotlight Video

We are so pleased to present our interview with Donielle Martin, CEO and Founder of One Life @ A Time. an organization which was inspired by her son Terry, who was incarcerated at the age of 18. In 2019, he created the One Life @ A Time mentoring program while incarcerated to be the voice for the unheard and in hopes the program would reach many, to give back to society.

Her organization carries this work forward, working to inspire and empower youth and families to embrace their authentic selves. They achieve this by providing opportunities, such as but not limited to: hands-on experiences , fostering self-expression, healing, creativity, and understanding the importance of discipline. Through promoting community involvement, they aim to help individuals uncover their truth and thrive despite societal stigmas, and together, “we will change the narrative.”

We are also so pleased to have Donielle be a part of our Youth and Family Expert Advisory Council at the Center for Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities! You can learn more about Donielle’s organization below, as well as the Youth and Family Council
