About Giving
“I used to be critical of victims of domestic violence. ‘Why did they stay? Why don’t they just leave?’ I had so many questions until I was in their situation. Sixteen!! Sixteen is the number of attempts it took me to leave my abusive environment. Even then, it took almost losing my life from one of his chokeholds to break the cycle of abuse finally. Yes, I am a domestic violence survivor; I received recognition for Still Standing Strong, presented by the Partnership Against Domestic Violence and Communities United here in Atlanta, Georgia in 2011. The organization selected three strong women who came out with a unique domestic violence case and I was honored to be one of them that survived. With this second chance, I knew that there was important work that I could accomplish. I started by telling my story. I created the film as a way to raise awareness. In 2018, MedShare presented me with a certificate of appreciation recognizing me as ‘an exceptional advocate for MedShare’s mission to improve the quality of life of people and our planet.’ In 2020, I received the Heart of Gold Recognition from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). Now, with the help of so many individuals in our community, and I hope you, too, we can make a lasting impact.”

Our purpose is to centralize resources for human-rights advocates around the globe. Advocates serve an important role in the lives of victims―They are friends, family members, colleagues, ministers, mentors, and social workers. When abuse occurs, victims need to know that they have an advocate closer than they think and that they are strong enough to survive and escape.
