Posted on Oct 7, 2019 | 0 comments

The ugly truth is that we all know someone effected by domestic violence in some way,behind the scenes or otherwise. It is common to think ‘well they are staying in that situation, so I’ll just let them deal with it’. It is easier for some people to just pretend it is not going on.

But the easy way is not always the best way. In fact some of the best things that have ever been accomplished in this world took an incredible amount of work and effort to create. And doesn’t a world without domestic violence sound pretty incredible?

It is totally possible. The good news is that anyone can easily get involved in raising awareness for domestic violence today. We all have beautiful voices, we just have to get past our fear and use them. AND we all can keep the conversation going all year. Join me and Take A Stand against domestic violence. Knowledge is power.
