Felony Girls, a brand founded by Starr Austin, Dominica Sharda, and Rashida Morgan, proudly announces its official launch. Felony Girls aims to combat societal stigmas and provide critical support and resources for female felons reentering society after incarceration.

Each year, approximately 8,000 individuals return home from Michigan prisons, many of whom are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). These individuals face significant barriers to housing, employment, and other basic needs, with about 26.6% of parolees reincarcerated within three years without proper support. Felony Girls is dedicated to addressing these challenges and supporting female felons in Michigan and surrounding areas.
