Hope Cross

Hope’s journey with the justice-impacted started BEYOND the barbed wire, when she was born to her biological mother who was incarcerated in Houston, Texas.

She has a lifetime of personal experience and over 20 years of professional experience that has been cultivated to help her develop into a multi-dimensional leader who has served the most underserved populations throughout Florida and train organizations throughout the United States.

Hope helps organizations strengthen their client engagement, enhance client rapport, and magnify client and organizational success rates with a blend of Trauma-Informed Care practices, Resiliency elements, and out-of-the-box navigation.

Hope is the founder of the Cultivating Hope Foundation, Inc., and author of Beyond the Barbed Wire.

She has supported the Florida Department of Corrections and the Missouri Department of Corrections by leading groups within prisons and training facilitators to support men and women BEYOND the BARBED WIRE.

Her purpose-driven mission is to use her experience and skillset to snuff out radical darkness by cultivating radical hope.
