Thank you for your attendance
Thank you to all the members of the community that came out to listen to the heartfelt stories on Friday night. The true MVPs of this event were the speakers who taught us that committing ourselves to changing a community’s mindset about how we treat women is very important. They also motivated us to advocate to judiciary services that more needs to be done to bring perpetrators to the law. Thank you Shelly Gordon, Shaderel Cornet, Benjamin Ortega and Ardwell Irion… and other spontaneous speakers!
