Recovery in Practice

Dziko Singleton, a self-described "social norms disruptor", is a lifelong Richmond resident and a Black woman in long-term recovery. She currently serves as co-coordinator of the largest harm reduction program in Virginia and is also a racial equity and Hep C/drug user health consultant for federal agencies. She's a survivor of the U.S. carceral systems and does the work necessary to reform disproportionate, racist and misogynistic sentencing. Dziko considers it her charge to advocate for those whom society has deemed voiceless and works tirelessly to ensure that their issues and concerns are heard and that solutions are found
