Live Laugh Love Through the Journey

This “Vision Seeds” video features Johana Ramirez, of Sure Helpline Center in El Centro, California. A Windows Facilitator since 2024, Johana reflects on her own journey of using art to anchor herself in the midst of trauma and chaos, and how today, she is honored to invite others to embrace their journey and find their own healing process. This work is part of a multi-year partnership with Just Detention International called Rooted in Resilience and funded through the DOJ Office of Violence Against Women. This initiative will train & support 10 new Facilitators per year, for three years, to innovate transformative arts practices serving currently and formerly incarcerated survivors of trauma.
