On October 4th, I will present to the members of the Junior League of Memphis. The topic is Behind Closed Doors, A Conversation About Domestic Violence. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This will be an open and candid conversation about the invisible scars of domestic violence, recognizing the not so obvious signs, and providing some strategic and tangible ways to support and holistically restore yourself and/or others with healthy resources and solutions. As always, I am honored to have the opportunity to speak, share, and educate on various topics, and domestic violence is personally as well as professionally important to me.

I had 
the absolute pleasure of being the Keynote speaker for this year’s Project STAND event. Project STAND is an annual fundraising event designed to provide awareness and resources to victims/survivors of domestic violence and the community at large. I’ve been fortunate to attend almost every year. And, our nonprofit organization, Walking Into A New Life, Inc., has benefited from the proceeds of the event. This year, I was privileged with the task of being the Keynote speaker.
In my address, I wanted to make sure attendees understood the importance of giving, being a good servant leader and being mindful of the language they use when addressing victims of abuse. I also stressed the importance of seeking help, counseling and trusting the judicial system. Among other things, talked about not simply encouraging survivors to just leave an abusive relationship without a plan, as that plan will help to determine when and how they can do it safely.
As always, we had a great time! Food, fun, fellowship and outstanding entertainment. If you didn’t attend this year, I suggest you make plans to come out NEXT year.
