About Tiffany Gibson

"Freedom isn’t just about release—it’s about transformation. Too many parents are separated from their children during the most vulnerable years of their lives. But when the will to change meets the right support, anything is possible."

— Surviving Freedom

Founder/Director

My personal journey through the criminal justice system became the driving force behind the creation of Surviving Freedom, Inc. Navigating the hardships of incarceration and reentry gave me a firsthand understanding of the overwhelming barriers that individuals and their families face when trying to rebuild their lives after prison.

Determined to break those barriers, I dedicated myself to healing, growth, and education. I went on to earn a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice, using my lived experience not as a limitation, but as a catalyst for transformation. Today, I advocate for second chances, restorative justice, and the belief that no one should be defined by their past.

Having been separated from my children during the most critical years of their lives, I carry a deep, personal mission to build a support system for families torn apart by incarceration. Surviving Freedom, Inc. was born from that vision—to empower justice-impacted youth and parents, promote successful reentry, and break generational cycles through advocacy, rehabilitation, and community care.

“God has been my strength through every setback, and His grace is the reason I stand today—not just surviving, but walking in purpose.”

My story is not unique, it mirrors the journey of thousands of men and women searching for a way forward. But with the right support systems rooted in compassion, accountability, and opportunity, real, lasting change is possible.

Transformation isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. With the right support, anyone can rewrite their story and build a future they’re proud of.
