“The journey just really opened up my eyes so much,” she shared. “It gets overwhelming because there’s so much to be done … I brought my sisterKhloé [Kardashian]to a prison for the first time last week, and that wasreally eye-opening for her.”

“I hope so,” she said. “I always joke with my mom — who’s my manager — I say Kim K. is retiring, and I’m just going to be an attorney.”
The SKIMS founder’s reform work began in October 2017 afterlearning about the case of Alice Marie Johnson, who had been in prison since October 1996 after being convicted for helping facilitate communications in a drug trafficking case.
Johnson believed she would be pardoned in 2016 when then-PresidentBarack Obamagranted clemency to 231 people — including many with similar nonviolent drug charges — but Johnson was passed over.
After Johnson wasreleased from prisonin August 2020, Kardashian continued to advocate for other wrongfully convicted inmates; most recently including asking for the temporary release of a jailedfather whose daughter was killedin the tragic elementaryschool shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
