I came up with this idea that we would have workshops, and we would have formerly incarcerated people come to the workshops, and we would teach them about organizing and teach about women’s suffrage, civil rights, and marriage equality. How impactful a group of people can be if they all have the same interest. They’re voters. They can talk to the state legislators and tell them, ‘I’m a voter and what they’re doing is making my life really hard.’ And, to my great surprise, it totally worked!
In addition to writing the Camille Delaney series, I’m the founder and busy managing partner of DuBois Levias Law Group, one of the longest-standing, woman-owned law firms in Washington State, where I maintain an active family law practice. My purpose in writing the Camille Delaney series is to raise awareness of injustice and create an opportunity for readers to reflect on how our system could work better for those most marginalized.
