I have started to speak out, take action, and try to change a system that was not set up to work for me, my children, or anyone in our position. I am walking in the WINGS BLOSSOM Fashion Show, a show Tracey created, as a “victor.” Tracey uses this term for those who have not just escaped the abuse but won the battle and took their power back.
I am working hard to increase awareness of all forms of domestic violence and its devasting aftermath to try to change systems for other survivors/victors by sharing my experience. By walking the runway in the BLOSSOM show and working with John and the CBA, I am trying hard to educate and erase the misconception that domestic violence doesn’t happen to women like me, when in fact it does. There are no boundaries.
