Resilience Rising: Advocacy Against Abuse

In this highly sensitive episode of Empowering Real Talk, Coach Kay Transforms interviews Johnette D. Johnson, founder of Breaking the Silence Awareness Outreach Program (AOP) a front line advocate against abuse. Johnette shares her personal experiences with some of these topics and how it has inspired her to create Breaking The Silence Awareness Outreach Program addressing sensitive topics such as domestic violence, child molestation, drug addiction, suicide, and youth violence. Johnette and Kisha emphasize the importance of breaking the silence and creating a non-judgmental space for individuals to share their stories and what each of us are doing in helping to make others more aware of the violence that surrounds us as well as giving the safe space to speak up for help! This is a super necessary conversation that highlights the need for awareness, aid, and support for both victims and sometimes even the perpetrators of these issues.To learn more about Johnette's Outreach Programs and Art Showcase, visit https://www.breakingthesilenceaop.com/
