But after years of arrests, sentences and a seemingly inescapable cycle, Winn found footing with a job. She began raising her voice on community issues. Before long, she had found herself on a path of activism and advocacy.
Winn has been a leader in the grassroots movement to push the city of Atlanta to close its massive 500,000-square foot jail, the Atlanta City Detention Center.

Women of Color Initiative at ESU donates masks to Navajo Nation
STAFF REPORTS
East Stroudsburg University has donated hundreds of masks to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after a new campus group adopted an individual student’s cause.
Alejandra Browne, a senior biology major from East Stroudsburg, and her mother, Amanda Browne, an ESU employee, had already donated almost 200 masks on their own when Alejandra mentioned it during a virtual Sister Chat with Women of Color Initiative, a new campus group, in the fall.
Lurine Allotey, assistant director for the Center for Multicultural Affairs and Inclusive Education, contacted faculty and staff to explain the Navajo Nation’s need for masks. “Alejandra, of Native descent herself, had explained to Allotey that the women living there live in extreme poverty, face a fear of sex and human trafficking and just don t have the same luxuries as many others,” ESU said.
