<div>My name is Amie Boakye, and I recently graduated with dual degrees in Psychology and Political Science, with a deep focus on trauma, wrongful convictions, and criminal neuroscience. For the past few years, I’ve poured my heart into research that centers the stories we never hear—those of victims of violent crime, their families, and the wrongfully convicted.




</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>I’m now writing a book that weaves together these silenced voices. It’s a project born from years of prison visits, interviews with exonerees, families torn apart by the system, and survivors who were promised justice but never received it. These are human beings—not headlines. My goal is to write a novel that forces people to feel what justice has failed to deliver.




</div>

</div>




<div>I used to cover my justice initiatives with my income from my job and help from my parents, but now that I’m out of undergrad I’m trying to do large scale service projects and global research/justice. My work fellowship recently ended, leaving me with no income aside from my small business. It’s growing, but barely enough to cover necessities. There was a 2 month period where I was rationing food to stay afloat but this community has changed my life a complete 180. I was in a car accident in November and my vehicle was totaled. I needed to continue renting a vehicle to still staten the volunteer events I committed to, complete interviews, and drive to get my visa—but purchasing a car doesn’t make sense, as I’m relocating to Spain this fall to begin my PhD.




</div>

</div>

<div>A good portion of the funds raised went towards travel costs to document protests and frontline activism across the country before I left. I want to bear witness—to capture what’s happening in real time and help create a visual archive of this moment in history. I’ll be filming, interviewing, and amplifying voices from communities too often ignored. This is the final stretch before I move abroad, and I want to give it everything I have.<br />

</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>This is my calling—but I can’t keep going without help.




</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>
</div>The funds raised will go directly toward restorative justice initiatives I’ve committed my life to:
<br />→ conducting trauma-informed interviews with exonerees and victims’ families
<br />→ filming and documenting protests and frontline advocacy work
<br />→ building a volunteer community abroad
<br />→ writing and publishing this book to educate and inspire change (2-3 years out; writing and researching right now)<br />→ continuing nonprofit service efforts while in transition
<br />→ potentially launching a research-based podcast and digital archive on justice
<div>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>




<div>I’ve tried everything—working multiple jobs, applying for grants, building my own business—and I still find myself struggling to breathe. Either way, I refuse to give up. So I’m asking:




</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>If you believe in justice…




</div>




<div>If you believe in the power of stories to change lives…




</div>




<div>If you’ve ever been touched by the system…




</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>Please consider donating or sharing this. Even $1 makes a difference. Every share, every kind word, every act of support keeps this mission alive.




</div>




<div><br />




</div>




<div>With love and relentless hope,




</div>




<div>Amie
