From Incarceration to Inspiration
Byrd's Nest is owned and operated by former justice-impacted entrepreneur Ms. Valencia Byrd, who experienced incarceration as both a juvenile and an adult.
With 28 years in the system, she understands the challenges, the lack of resources, and the overwhelming obstacles women face when reentering society. Her mission is to provide women with the support, skills, and guidance necessary to rebuild their lives, reunify with their families, and never return to incarceration again.
Valencia is also a breast cancer survivor, adding another layer of resilience to her incredible journey of transformation.
Today, Valencia serves as a Merchant Marine, working at sea to fund her vision of building a network of transition homes. Byrd's Nest is the first home in what will become All The Way Around Transition Home LLC — a network of homes helping women across the country learn to fly again.
