Mass incarceration is a societal beast in the USA that isolates and stigmatizes. Through Pentionery, I wish to contribute to tear down those walls and fight those prejudices by offering a growing collection of stationery that brings smiles and sweet sentiments to those enduring the pain of separation. Something as simple as a heartfelt card can make a huge difference for those inside. Each card I make is meant to bring a sense of closeness, even when things seem really bleak.

Inspired by the love and resilience found in our own story, I embarked on this journey not only for my husband and me but for all families navigating similar struggles. What keeps me going is knowing that these cards make a real difference. It’s all worth it when someone tells me how a card brightened their day and made them feel closer to their loved one.

I’m constantly inspired by the love and strength people show, even in the toughest times. Pentionery is my way of turning those hard moments into ones of connection and hope. It’s not just a business to me — it’s about showing that love can conquer even the biggest challenges.
