I’ve had a little time to reflect on Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence Celebration of Excellence, and what has stayed with me most is the incredible work being done every single day by advocates, organizations, and individuals across Louisiana.
It was incredibly moving and humbling to be in a room filled with people who have dedicated so much of themselves to supporting survivors, creating change, and making sure people know they are not alone.
As a survivor, this work is deeply personal to me. I know how important it is to have people willing to speak up, but also to have real resources and people ready to help when someone needs them.
So I want to thank the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence for the work they do, and for bringing together and recognizing so many people who are making a difference.
And if you’re in Louisiana and you or someone you know needs help, please remember: there are resources available. You can contact the Louisiana Statewide Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-888-411-1333. It’s free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day.
