Valencia Peterson, Founder & CEO

At a very young age my father killed my mother. My sisters and I were all home and the arguing started and then the shots. I cannot describe how hard it was to deal with this. My oldest sister who witnessed everything had to testify in court and never really recovered  from the trauma. She tried to deal with it through drugs that eventually took her life. I was well on my way down the same path. Through a wonderful community and faith in God I was able to start to heal. My passion is to help prevent Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault through love. I am convinced that with so much intervention needed, prevention is our only hope. It starts with our youth. My young men will tell you my motto " if one of you become a good father, husband or man of integrity its all worth it." I hope to meet all of you who visit our page!
