When Cece Jones-Davis watched a documentary about a Black man and fellow Oklahoman who had been imprisoned for a crime he likely didn't commit, she decided to act on faith and her love of justice to do something about it. A Yale-educated minister and justice advocate, Cece shares her convoluted journey through the US justice system, and how God can use what you love—and also what breaks your heart—to do His good in the world.
Quotes
"Justice, for me, is about making things right. It's important for people to remember or realize that this is a requirement for people of faith." —Cece Jones-Davis
"Justice work shows you very quickly how injust the world is around us, how many people are suffering, how inhumane we can be to one another, how broken. A lot of our systems are. But because I have a faith center, I always have something to draw from." —Cece Jones-Davis
"I honestly give God the glory and the honor and the praise for showing up so incredibly strong in the hearts and the minds of people." —Cece Jones-Davis
"God is incredibly real, and people are stronger than systems when we come together, when we believe in a thing. When we commit ourselves to doing what is right, there is very little that can stop us." —Cece Jones-Davis
