Our Story: The Birth of The Chain Breakers Project
By Dearest Price
The Chain Breakers Project is a healing-centered, transitional initiative created to restore dignity, purpose, and opportunity to individuals impacted by trauma, whether it’s behind bars or rebuilding life on the outside. We believe that true transformation begins with God then education, and that no one is beyond redemption when given the tools, support, and opportunity to rise.
Envisioned to provided services to our healing schools and communities, The Chain Breakers Project confronts systems of oppression with a powerful combination of teaching, curriculum development, and trauma-informed support. We serve individuals who have been pushed out, locked up, or written off and we help them find their voice, their value, and their vision.
Founded by educator, minister, and advocate Dearest Price, The Chain Breakers Project was born from personal experience, forged through deep pain, and fueled by the healing power of forgiveness. Alongside her ex-spouse, Dearest turned her own lessons of resilience and restoration into a mission to uplift others. She understands the importance of confronting generational cycles, the weight of incarceration, and the urgent need to humanize justice-involved individuals through education and hope.
With over three decades of experience in teaching and curriculum design, Dearest Price has developed a bold, culturally responsive approach that reaches into jails, classrooms, and transitional spaces with content designed to educate, advocate, emancipate, and liberate. From HiSET prep and reentry programs to life skills workshops and spiritual mentorship, Chain Breakers serves as a bridge between confinement and community.
At Chain Breakers, we don’t just prepare people to pass tests, we prepare them to reclaim their lives. We believe that justice isn’t just about punishment, but about potential. We are breaking chains; mental, emotional, systemic and building a future where education replaces incarceration and hope outshines hardship.
We are The Chain Breakers Project. And we’re just getting started.
