Executives from the partnering agencies will speak, take questions and provide important literature to all interested parties. Representatives from the police department and the Domestic Violence unit will also give advice to victims regarding their rights, criminal procedure and safety measures. Lastly, Ms. Young Williams will share her unfortunate life experiences, lessons learned and candid advice to all victims and attending parties. “I have never shared my experiences as a victim of domestic violence with a group of women, but when I was thrown into the light as a celebrity who was a victim, I knew that I had to shine the light on this cause because I can help other victims in a real way,” said Young Williams.
