Empower Excons

Mission Statement

My name is Carmen Jordan. I was born and raised in Chicago, starting out in the Robert Taylor Homes, where life taught me hard lessons early on. I saw struggle, loss, and injustice up close, and as a teenager, I looked for belonging in all the wrong places. My choices led me in and out of jail for many years, and I battled deep depression along the way.

With the help of therapy, education, and the love of my family—and even stranger I found healing and a new purpose. Today, I share my story to inspire others to believe in second chances. My mission is to help people rebuild their lives, find hope after hardship, and know they are never too broken to start again.
