   Women's History Month: A Conversation with Attorney E. Paige White

   During this Women's History Month, join Life After the Impact's conversation with E. Paige White, a trailblazing woman in law. E. Paige White is a distinguished criminal and civil rights attorney whose career has been defined by a series of impactful and high-profile roles. Currently serving as Of-Counsel at Ben Crump Law, Paige has had the privilege of contributing to landmark civil rights cases, further refining her expertise in the pursuit of justice and equality. Paige previously worked as an Associate Attorney at Ben Crump Law and contributed to high-profile civil rights cases including the Tyre Sampson and Astroworld cases. Her time there was instrumental in enhancing her expertise in advocating for justice and civil rights. Prior to her tenure at Ben Crump Law, Paige garnered significant experience at DiCello Levitt LLP where she represented families in high-stakes police brutality cases, notably the Jayland Walker and Jalen Randle cases, showcasing her ability to navigate complex litigation with precision and poise. Paige also drafted and filed the first complaint in the widely covered hair relaxer mass tort case and a class action sexual harassment case against a major manufacturer. Her portfolio also includes representing clients in employment, sexual abuse, and police misconduct cases against prominent defendants. Paige's legal journey began at two of the most prestigious public defender offices in the country: the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia. At the Public Defender Service, celebrated as one of the premier offices nationwide, she honed her skills handling serious felony offenses, including homicides, with unmatched dedication. Her work at the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem further solidified her holistic approach to legal advocacy, addressing not only the legal challenges but also the broader social and personal impacts faced by her clients.

   Women's History Month: A Conversation with Qiana L. Johnson

   During this Women's History Month, join Life After the Impact's conversation with Qiana L. Johnson. Qiana is a legal empowerment strategist advancing structural accountability within public institutions — and a 2026 candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Her work interrogates the administrative architecture of justice — plea bargaining systems, court bureaucracy, civic restoration, and reentry infrastructure — and translates lived experience into institutional redesign. With a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies and direct experience navigating the criminal legal system, Qiana operates at the intersection of policy literacy, legal literacy, and power analysis. She advances legal literacy as a mechanism for power redistribution — equipping directly impacted communities with the procedural fluency necessary to navigate, challenge, and influence the systems that govern their lives. As the founder and Executive Director of Life After Release, she designs frameworks that center legal literacy, transparency, and access. Her initiatives include second-chance employment pipelines, train-the-trainer self-leadership models, court transparency efforts, and civic restoration strategy, all grounded in the belief that knowledge is not supplemental to justice; it is structural. She is the author of Lies, Alibis, and Plea Deals, a hybrid memoir and systems analysis examining discretion, coercion, and administrative authority within the criminal legal process. Her candidacy for Coutny Clerk of Prince Georges County , Mayland reflects the same thesis that defines her work: that the administration of justice is not neutral, it is procedural, measurable, and capable of reform. She seeks to bring literacy, transparency, and accountability directly into the operational core of the court. Her framework is clear: Legal literacy is infrastructure. Transparency is leverage. Knowledge redistributes power.
