Our luncheon topic is “Using Your Past Pain to Direct Your Path."Guest speaker Sharon Williams will share her story of her escape from a physically abusive relationship with a prospective NBA player. She was a young woman with a bright & successful future but was caught in the terrible trap of this relationship.
Sharon had the love and support of her family and was always told by her mother “Your Eyes Tell A Story”. Through her story, she will inspire us to take control of our own narrative and own our truth. She will inspire us to be seen even though we might not feel seen.
