S2 | EP 1: ISABEL CORONADO ~ Disrupting Systemic Oppression for Children and Families 

Isabel Coronado a daughter of a formerly incarcerated mother, a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, a policy expert and researcher is on a mission to bring awareness and solutions to the issues impacting children of incarcerated parents and the mass incarceration of Native American people. She works as a Research Scholar in the Litmus program at NYU’s Marron Institute, where she coordinates the Family-Based Justice Center, a national technical-assistance center that helps localities, states, and tribal nations create programs to keep families together through comprehensive services instead of sending parents or primary caregivers to prison. Prior to her research work at NYU, Isabel was a Policy Entrepreneur at the NEXT 100 where she researched, advocated for, and wrote an original policy proposal on behalf of children who experience parental incarceration. Prior to that, she helped create the American Indian Criminal Justice Navigation Council (AICJNC), a nonprofit in Oklahoma aimed at reducing recidivism among tribal members and helping reduce the trauma family members endure as a result. At AICJNC, Isabel served as deputy director. Isabel was selected by the Center for Native American Youth at the Aspen Institute as a 2018 Champions for Change recipient, Mvskoke Women’s Leadership as the 2019 College Student of the Year, and by Mvskoke Youth Council as the 2020 Youth Visionary in promoting civic engagement. Isabel received her BS in 2017 from Northeastern State University, and her master’s of public health with an emphasis on rural and underserved populations from Oklahoma State University in 2019.
