Speaker Bio

Marriam Oliver is the program and operations manager at the Washington Innocence Project. A passionate advocate for justice reform, Marriam brings a deeply personal and transformative perspective to her work, shaped by her own experience of being incarcerated for twenty years after being sentenced as an adult at fourteen years old. While incarcerated, she founded a nonprofit to provide incarcerated women with access to higher education and earned her own college degree. Since her early release in 2021, Marriam has become a powerful voice for system-impacted individuals, including through policy advocacy, teaching yoga in prisons, and community organizing.
