I survived domestic violence and then I shed the shame | Brenna Lawrence | TEDxCharleston

A study conducted across our state by the National Network to End Domestic Violence showed that 365 victims were reported in a 24-hour period. Brenna Lawrence, a domestic abuse survivor turned empowerment coach challenges us to shift the blame off victims and onto abusers, empowering both survivors and allies. Her talk will spark a vital conversation about how we can all help survivors drop the shame, reclaim dignity, and start the healing process. Proudly raising confident, self-aware girls, with my love.
