Miesha Parker is founder of Stand With Me Advocacy. She brings lived experience as a parent who navigated family separation through the child welfare system based on school reports, combined with professional expertise training child welfare stakeholders nationally. Miesha has delivered her signature CLE/CEU-accredited trainings to legal professionals and system leaders and has presented at national conferences including the National Association of Counsel for Children (NACC), Children's Trust Conference, Families Rising Conference, Harvard Law School, Boston College Law School, and Boston University. Her article "When Safety Is a Smokescreen for Separation" was published in NACC's Guardian legal journal (Winter 2025). She is currently leading Massachusetts' site for Imagination Factory's housing intervention pilot to prevent family separation. Miesha's frameworks, including Culturally Responsive Placement Review Panels, emerge from experiential authority: knowledge that sits where consequences live.
