TOGETHER
WE CAN STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE
“I have a dream . . .”
Like Dr. King, I have an incredible dream. My mission is to stop the cycle of abuse in our society. I realize this is an enormous undertaking. But I am encouraged when I think of Dr. King, imagining his resolve when he led the Civil Rights Movement and delivered a speech in 1963 that changed history.
Each one of us can dare to dream, and I choose to dream of a society that is free from abuse. To attain this, we need to step up and face the reality of abuse within our society, communities, and even within our own families. Burying our heads in the sand or sweeping abuse under the carpet isn’t the answer.
It’s time to speak up and find our voices on behalf of every survivor. Together we can change the world through education, empowerment, hope, and most of all healing. As survivors find empowerment and heal the pain of past trauma, we can expect positive changes. We can witness the diminishment of abuse.
I’m asking you to join my cause so together we can #stopthecycleofabuse. Let’s tell the world that abusive behaviors are unacceptable, and it is time for change.

Get to Know Mannette
I am an inspirational speaker, life coach, and the author of Finding Your Voice. I survived 24 years of abuse that included emotional, physical, and sexual abuse as a child and young adult.
My commitment to self-improvement led me to become a passionate abuse advocate. I chose to become an educated survivor, eliminate victim mentality, and heal my past trauma. My goal is to share that same determination, empowerment, and knowledge with other survivors.
I encourage and lead survivors toward a path of recovery while helping them strive for their best life. My wish is for others to live a life free of abuse while embracing more happiness.
