Justice Arts Coalition
Hello JAC community and welcome back to another ha Hello JAC community and welcome back to another happy Thursday! Today we will be introducing the final JUSTstories participant, Asia Johnson. Asia is a writer, storyteller, and filmmaker who has worked with several organizations in criminal justice reform, including The Bail Project, cut50, Shakespeare in Prison, Prison Creative Arts Program, Hamtramck Free School, and the Michigan Prison Doula Initiative. Asia is a 2019 Right of Return Fellow, 2019 Room Project Fellow, and 2021 Brennan Center for Justice Fellow. Her Chapbook, An Exorcism, was released in 2018 and her upcoming directorial debut, Out of Place, will be released in 2022. Asia is a student at University of Michigan-Dearborn where she studies Criminal Justice and Film and is the Senior Associate of Storytelling and Local Organizing at Zealous. When Asia isn’t helping to uplift the stories of those impacted by the criminal legal system and making her dream of a world without cages come true, she is writing poetry in sunny Los Angeles where she lives. Image Description: There are three periwinkle colored sketched polaroids on a lilac background with pictures of Asia Johnson on the graphic on every corner but the top right. We see “Asia Johnson” written at the top right corner in a bubble font, next to the JUSTstories logo. #JUSTstories #storytelling #justiceartscoalition #artforliberation #abolition #unchainedstories #filmmaking #Advocacy #Justice #ArtistsUnite #ArtforJustice #AbolishPrisons #AbolitionistArt #JusticeArtsCoalition #ArtForAboliton #restorativejustice
