Cindy Adcock
Here I share my thoughts, writings, information, and photos gathered through my journeys: child of a loving mother, absent father, strange stepfathers, and protective grandparents; southern country girl raised with modest means in the foothills of Appalachia and the panhandle of Florida; first generation college graduate who earned three graduate degrees; progressive Baptist lawyer of death row inmates, broken by the work but made stronger; empathic introvert who came to love teaching adults; advocate of restorative justice and storytelling for peace and justice; world traveler and class-straddler.

Connecting virtually has never been more important. I hope we can.
Attorney Keeping House, Family, and Community
About Me
My career spans work as a civil rights advocate, death penalty defense lawyer, legal educator, and social entrepreneur. I left full-time employment shortly before the Covid pandemic to spend more time with family, friends, and community and to discern where I could best plug in to make a difference consistent with my values. My long-held values include the rule of law, social justice, especially racial justice, storytelling, and community. The last few years have led me to add to this list: keeping house .
