The Founder
Welcome to all my new followers!
Allow me to formally introduce myself — I’m Snow, the founder and CEO of K Kouture, established in 2017 and expanded into multiple umbrella ventures since.
​
Before transitioning into full-time entrepreneurship, I worked as a licensed chemical dependency counselor and full-time social worker at a state-funded rehabilitation center in Texas. I also interned as a clinical therapist at a respected nonprofit organization.
I’m a certified notary public and licensed wedding officiant, with an academic background that includes:
– Associate of Arts, Tarrant County College
– Associate in Criminal Justice, Tarrant County College
– Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, Tarleton State University
– Currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at Texas A&M University

The Vision Behind Felons Have Feelings Too:
This nonprofit was born from my personal journey. As a young single mother, I made decisions that led to legal consequences. In 2018, I was arrested and charged with multiple felonies while trying to make ends meet. I lost my job, relationships, reputation, and—most devastating of all—custody of my children. One charge carried a sentence range of 5 to 99 years, possibly life.
Despite never using drugs, I was labeled as a criminal. I navigated CPS, courtrooms, and probation—often dehumanized and judged. The arresting officer was later terminated for misconduct, and eventually, all charges were reduced to a misdemeanor marijuana possession. I received deferred adjudication, completed probation early, and my record was cleared. In parallel, I fought tirelessly in family court. After hiring multiple attorneys, I finally found one willing to challenge the court’s prior ruling. We won a new trial after discovering no record existed of the original one, and by June 2020, I regained full custody of my children.
​
Through every courtroom, every drug test, and every CPS class, I was treated as if I were undeserving of compassion or dignity. But I refused to be defined by a label. That experience inspired me to create Felons Have Feelings Too — to humanize those with past convictions and offer the resources, support, and respect we all deserve.
The name Felons Have Feelings Too is both impactful and intentional. It humanizes a population that is often dehumanized and overlooked by society. The tile challenges stereotypes and stigma by reminding the public that individuals with felony convictions are more than their criminal records - they are people with emotions, histories, and potential for growth.
​
The name is appropriate for a non profit because it reflects the organization's core mission: to promote compassion, rehabilitation, and reintegration for formerly incarcerated individuals. it sparks conversation, raises awareness, and highlights the emotional and psychological toll of incarceration, as well as the importance of mental health, community support, and second chances.
​
In short, "Felons Have Feelings Too, Inc" is more than a name - it's a statement of advocacy, dignity, and restorative justice.
