Incorrigibles focuses on juvenile justice and social services with and for girls using the past to shed light on the present through art, media, and storytelling.
As a alumni of those environments, I recall at 12 hearing that I was incorrigible was concerning enough I looked up the word and took a confused examination of myself to understand its application to me. I still reflect on what could have been occurring to the extent that would have professionals deem a child incorrigible at such a young age. I am so thankful I did not allow that to become self fulfilling. Unfortunately, the term has ruined so many lives.
