"So 2017, I founded Unsilenced Voices. We began in West Africa, so I've always had a heart for Africa. Never really knew why, just God gave me that. We started in Ghana, expanding to Sierra Leone, then Rwanda ." - 00:02:49

"Biggest takeaway from leaving that abusive relationship. I started to really kind of dive into therapy and counseling, and I understood why I gravitated towards a man who treated me so poorly. "- 00:19:29

"Well it's a generational cycle. So it starts with the kids. Unfortunately, 40 to 60 percent of kids who experienced domestic violence in the home turn out to be abusers or the abused." - 00:31:25
