Our Founder
Dr. Kreslyn Barron Odum is a Georgia-based physician and public health expert whose experience in navigating the family court system brought her to engage more deeply in conversations about reform. Her story was later featured in a documentary screened at the National Press Club, contributing to a wider dialogue around court accountability and child-centered practices.
“Families across this country are doing everything right and still losing their children to a system that refuses to look at the truth.”
