Saturday, February 10th from 1 to 3pm, I’d love to have you as my guest for What Color is YOUR Elephant? It’s an interactive look into the ‘elephant in the room’ about ourselves and what others see but don’t tell us. We’ll talk about the truths and lies we often tell ourselves and why. We’ll examine real strategies for goal setting with realistic expectations. Attendees will receive their own notebook/journal, elephant themed resources, along with food, fun and fellowship.

As 2017 begins to wind down, I am thrilled to share that I’ve been featured in Huffington Post again this year. What’s so amazing about this particular feature is having the opportunity to share another side of myself. Domestic violence and sexual assault have become signatures for me and set the tone for my branding. However, the REAL foundation for what brought me to this path was in entrepreneurship and personal development.
This book has afforded me the opportunity to be mentioned in the same company with some other pretty amazing global entrepreneurs. I’m learning some awesome information from them. As I continue to build my own brand and establish my professional identity, I am proud to be able to offer a wealth of resources by way of our book. You Need It, I Got It! is helping me to strategically dominate my niche. I believe it will do the same for you.

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.
As we continue to recognize October as National Domestic Violence Awareness month, I am reminded of one of the single biggest questions I’m asked, Why Doesn’t She Leave? I decided to write a few of my thoughts and submit them to The Memphis Flyer. I’m pleased to share my thoughts were featured in this week’s Viewpoint section of their newspaper. I am hopeful that those who read it will find it to provide a more intimate look at the barriers individuals affected by domestic violence are facing. I also hope it inspires others to become more involved in establishing and maintaining solutions to help our brothers and sisters who need help, support, guidance and resources.
For the past six years, the Whitehaven Public Library has hosted an event called Girls Night Out on Domestic Violence. I have had the privilege to facilitate it all six years. The first year, I was asked to facilitate with another person from another organization. The following year, I was asked to do it alone and have been doing so ever since. I always look forward to it, and I always have a great time.
Donna Parnell Windham is over programs at the library. She wanted to start GNO because of the things she saw and heard from the people, specifically young women, who frequent the library. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be featured on Local 24 to talk about the event and our passion for the work. Many thanks to news anchor Amy Speropoulos for a great interview and her caring spirit. The TV interview is here: https://www.facebook.com/LocalMemphisLive/videos/1962730890670018/
