Have you've been wondering where I've been this past month? I've been doing some online publicity as a New Media Consultant for the 4th Annual One Voice Domestic Violence Community Awareness Walk, which was held in Cincinnati, Ohio this morning. I took lots of pictures and recorded lots of audio from the event.
Hearing personal stories really moved me. I honestly felt a flood of emotions ranging from sadness, outrage, hurt, compassion, and more. It was really a lot to take in. And rightfully so. Domestic violence is an anathema to our society and must be stopped.
I really enjoyed interviewing people from the various local organizations and finding out what they are doing to help raise awareness for and to prevent domestic violence.
During the walk, I talked with other participants. In nearly all the interviews, I asked folks why they came. Really great discussions.

Daniel, I appreciate your article. Thank you for raising your voice on behalf of battered women. I am a formerly battered woman, and for my part, I have written a book in order to raise awareness of the plight of battered women within the Christian community entitled, "Woman Submit! Christians & Domestic Violence."
I make it a practice to email advocates a pdf copy of book at no charge. If you would like to receive a reveiw copy, please email me at jocelynandersen@yahoo.com
Have a great day. ~~jocelyn andersen
