About this Event

This class talks about the life story of Dawn Shumway. When Dawn was 9 years old, her mother and sister were killed by her father. Later, she had to runaway from her placement home to escape sexual abuse. Then, at 17, trying to survive on her own, she was hit by an SUV while biking home from work. She was flown to a hospital and had emergency brain surgery. Life felt destined to be nothing more than riddled with incredible pain. So when the hospital released her with Oxyc**tin, she decided to head to her family's grave and end things on her terms. But she didn't. Then at 18 she applied to be a 911 dispatcher, and built a new chapter. Dawn shares her skills that you can take away today to empower your life, find positivity when it seems impossible, build resilience, and create hope. In both work and your personal life. This is a raw look at how messy life can truly be yet how we can overcome it and not just survive, but thrive.
