2019 Leeway Transformation Award – $15,000

Mary, also known by her hip-hop name Isis Tha Saviour, is a Philadelphia artist who creates socially conscious music through an autobiographical lens. In 2017, Mary's lyrically raw and unflinching examination of giving birth while shackled in prison earned her a Right of Return Fellowship for formerly incarcerated artists. She has since partnered with Van Jones's Cut50 along with Senators Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Dick Durbin to support the national Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act, seeking to end the shackling of pregnant women while incarcerated.
