Meet Tosha & Christopher

Tosha Smith-Mills and her son Christopher Horne are the epitome of visionaries and storytellers of this unseen narrative as they were directly impacted when Mrs. Mills’ son Blake received a forty-year prison sentence at seventeen years old for aggravated robbery in Texas. This mother-son duo is out on a mission to uplift the dignity of mothers who all have their very own personal narratives with children in prison. As this started out as a passion project, Mills started to witness the same illnesses that she faced when her son went to prison amongst other mothers; Mills knew that she needed to inspire those who were on the same quest for freedom. State-by-state, this duo is not stopping until they do just that.
