Meet the Moderator

Dr. Brashani Reece is the Executive Director of Drop LWOP New England and a survivor of attempted murder. Her path to advocacy began when she realized the legal system's focus on permanent punishment offered no path to her own healing, leading her to seek a justice rooted in the belief that redemption is always possible. Dr. Reece holds a doctorate in forensic psychology, specializing in violence, dangerousness, and the developmental needs of child and emerging adult populations. A certified restorative justice facilitator, she has spent over twelve years working within the carceral system, witnessing the transformative power of accountability firsthand.
