I've been volunteering for some time at the Center for Community Solutions as a speaker. At first I was speaking to CCS's volunteers about my experience with abuse. But this past summer I volunteered for thier speaker's bureau. This expanded my venues. Not only did I speak at the trainings but also at schools, the community, and even a juvinile facility.While working at Ralphs I was able to stock the shelves at night and then do presentations and tabling events about once a week.
Then three months ago CCS offered me a paid speaker position in thier Prevention and Education department. For five years I dreamed of making speaking out against abuse my career. It is my passion.
I quit Ralphs that day.
