INITIATIVES
More Than a Verdict. A Mission.
Teri Lee Thompson has spent 33 years fighting for clients when the stakes were literally life and death. That experience taught her something the law alone can't: that most people don't end up in the system because they're beyond saving — they end up there because no one got to them first.
That belief is the foundation of two initiatives close to her heart.
Interested in bringing Teri to speak, train your staff, or partner on Girls Who Rise or Justice Redefined? Get in touch.
Girls Who Rise™
www.GirlsWhoRise.com
A mentorship and empowerment initiative built for teenage girls and young women navigating crisis, the justice system, or simply the challenge of believing in themselves. Girls Who Rise exists to interrupt the narrative before it's written for them — replacing shame and silence with voice, confidence, and a future they define on their own terms.
Justice Redefined™
www.JusticeRedefined.org
An advocacy and education initiative that reimagines what justice can look like for at-risk youth — working with families, schools, and organizations to build the tools, frameworks, and support systems that keep young people from ever needing a defense attorney in the first place.
