Our Vision

Purple Path will become one of the largest global Restorative Justice organizations.

A Journey Not Shared is a Soul NOT Healed!

Choose to be restorative to humanize those who have been dehumanized.

The Purple Path to TedX

Dr. Shaniqua Jones, a global leader and expert in restorative justice, captivated audiences with her recent TEDx talk. Known affectionately as Dr. J, she masterfully explored the deep connections between trauma and the principles of restorative justice, illuminating pathways to healing. A wife and mother of five, and the author of twelve inspiring works, Dr. J brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. When she’s not transforming communities, you might find her sporting her favorite gym shoes. This powerful talk, presented at a TEDx event, utilized the TED conference format but was independently organized by a local community.
