Private Story
Syreta Toson
Syreta Toson, 44, activist, advocate, survivor, reformer, Columbia, MO (originally from Fairfax, VA.) Portrait shot on 07/08/2023
I am a woman who does not really know a stranger. I believe myself to be a representative of what I believe, that there is a hope and a promise for everyone. That all deserve a smile, a kind word, encouragement, and all are worthy.
I am also a formerly incarcerated woman. I spent 14 1/2 years in a Missouri penitentiary for the murder of my abuser. I survived. Now I fight for the women I left behind. Those who can not leave, yet, but still have voices struggling to be heard.
Women just like me.
