  • Trying to fit in almost killed me, and you don’t have to be beaten black and blue to be a victim of Domestic Violence!

    Quanna Brown, Speaker, Speak up Somebody Listening

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

    Domestic violence is a complex issue that can manifest in various forms, often leaving victims unaware of their situation. Personally, I have endured years of physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial abuse from those who were supposed to care for me. Many fail to recognize non-physical forms of abuse, assuming that visible bruises are the only indicator. It is crucial to educate everyone, regardless of age, gender, or relationship status, about the different facets of domestic violence. Despite the hardships I have faced, I refuse to let my past define me. I am a survivor, a warrior, and I am determined to share my truth and my story with others.
