Dr. Surajit Khanna's Returning Youth Initiative Selects Indigo Station LLC as its PR Agency
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 25, 2021 — On June 23, 2021, the office of Dr. Surajit Khanna’s Post Incarceration Juvenile Justice Reformation Act Initiative, also known as Dr. Khanna’s Returning Youth Initiative, announced the selection of Indigo Station, a brand management and public relations firm, to represent the initiative.
Dr. Khanna’s Returning Youth Initiative works nationally to positively impact young adults released from government confinement. This is accomplished through programs that include restoration, education, training, and counseling. Dr. Khanna's goal is to reinforce stability in these young adults' lives, helping them become self-sustaining individuals by providing them with the tools they need to secure a career, explore business ownership, and reintegrate into society.
Indigo Station, led by nationally known public relations expert Heather Malloy-Davis in collaboration with TV, music producer, and talent manager James Womack, has an impressive track record. Heather has worked with top-tier individuals and companies, including Michelle Obama (who wrote a personal note of recommendation for Heather), Rihanna, Snoop Dogg, Deion Sanders, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Tyler Perry, Chris Rock, and many others.

Heather is enthusiastic about working with youth and young adults nationwide, training and mentoring them to achieve success, regardless of their current life paths. Recently, Indigo Station partnered with television and music production partners to train and employ 14- to 24-year-olds in Newark, New Jersey, as part of the summer youth employment program. Participants learned hands-on skills in media arts, scriptwriting for television, music engineering, and production, working as production assistants for their summer jobs. Indigo Station has several community partners nationwide, including the Returning Youth Initiative.
Dr. Khanna remarked, "Working with Heather is an amazing opportunity to broaden our reach, increase our impact, and make a difference in the lives of those returning to society. Our purpose and mission are to restore the lives of post-incarcerated youth and help them reestablish their dreams."
Speaking on behalf of Indigo Station, Heather Malloy Davis said, "We are excited to work with Dr. Khanna and the Returning Youth Initiative team. I have personal experience with post-incarcerated young adults in the African American community and have witnessed the pain and suffering experienced during re-entry. Being released from incarceration should be a time of joy with a positive expectation of the future. Indigo Station, working with Dr. Khanna and the Returning Youth Initiative, aims to deliver on this promise as it expands to all 50 states and 3,142 counties in the USA."
