“In order to move a mountain, sometimes you have to buy it first.” ~ Jon Voss.
Domestic Violence Organizations started as a much-needed avenue to protect people from evil. Unfortunately, you'll need money to keep that support going, and money can easily corrupt.
It’s easy to sour on an industry when you’ve been wronged, especially for the falsely accused. It’s easy to disregard anyone or anything associated with that industry.
And then you meet ERIKA CALDERON, from The Secret Garden and Barrier Free Living, and that’s when you realize there’s still hope.
Erika helps us understand why we react the way we do by diving into how we saw love as a child. How men are treated differently from females shapes how males view their worth and how females interact with men. And how society has left male victims of DV feeling unbelieved?
Listening to Erika speak, you hear the compassion, the understanding, and the desire to end all domestic violence. Speaking to Erika today has reaffirmed my belief that the system can be changed, fixed, or call it what you will. The fight against all forms of domestic violence is not close to being over. Knowing you have warriors from BFL and The Secret Garden on the front line, you know we won’t lose.
