About Us
Black Restorative Justice (BRJ) is an organization dedicated to Restorative Justice education and cultural healing. Born from the legacy of Mashaun Ali Hendricks’ powerful consulting work, BRJ has evolved into a collective committed to expanding the depth and reach of restorative justice around the world.
We are here to reimagine and reintroduce restorative justice—not as a one-time training or system/behavioral intervention, but as a way of life. A cultural force for healing, wholeness, and transformation.
The word “Black” in our name is not about race.
It speaks to the spiritual essence of blackness:
-
Black as the beginning.
-
Black as spiritual power.
-
Black as infinite possibility.
-
Black as the sacred unseen.
-
Black as the wisdom that holds communities together.
At BRJ, we believe that restorative justice is not a strategy—it’s a practice. A spiritual and cultural shift that often challenges Western social norms and reawakens those who embody it. We center heart connection, accountability, healing, and belonging as necessary elements for any thriving individual, family, school, community, or system.
With over 15 years of transformative work across education, policing, government, the arts, and grassroots community spaces, BRJ’s roots run deep. What started as one person’s commitment to being a student of restorative justice and transforming relationships has grown into a movement.
But BRJ is bigger than one person.
We are artists, educators, process providers, pastors, and cultural architects.
We offer immersive events, workshops, trainings, coaching, cultural consulting, and experiential art—infusing the practice of restorative justice into every thread of our work.
At BRJ, we don’t just teach restorative justice.
We embody it. We design it. We live it.
Black Restorative Justice is not just a business.
It is a platform.
A philosophy.
A promise:
-
To create cultures of care.
-
To imagine boldly.
-
To restore what’s been broken—beautifully.
