About Us

About us

A healing space for young, system-impacted girls and gender-expansive youth.

Who we are

Built for girls the systems failed.

In 2018, Naquasia Jones founded PureLegacee Inc. to create a healing space for young girls, helping them to overcome generational challenges and cultivate leadership skills.

We serve young, system-impacted girls and gender-expansive youth through restorative services and programs: mentorship, leadership and workforce development, and college readiness.

Our vision

PureLegacee Inc. envisions a world where girls obtain safety and wellness after injury caused by failures of the criminal legal, foster, and homelessness systems; where tools and resources are provided to break the cycle of incarceration and homelessness, and where grassroots advocacy becomes tangible policy reformation.
