Sia Henry is deeply committed to Black joy and liberation and has spent over a decade in the criminal legal system reform and abolition spaces. She is a Senior Policy Associate at the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, where she advocates for communities to have meaningful access to transformative healing opportunities. Sia is also the Founder and Executive Director of the Hood Exchange, where she’s introducing formerly-incarcerated, Black communities to international travel throughout the African diaspora for racial healing and community building. She previously worked with the Restorative Justice Project at Impact Justice, supporting community-based organizations and criminal legal system partners around the country in establishing pre-charge restorative justice diversion programs that, without relying on prosecution or incarceration, bring those who have caused and been impacted by harm into healing and accountability processes. She also spent a number of years on conditions of confinement work, engaging in impact litigation and training to improve life for incarcerated people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental health issues and those most at risk of sexualized violence. Sia graduated from Harvard Law School and Duke University.
