Today we’d like to introduce you to Denise Wolford.
Hi Denise, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am a 24-year survivor from domestic violence it all started in the 9th grade and ended on 7/18/1996. Abuser # 1 wanted to control where I went who I was looking at and what to wear and last but not least, every time we were together we fought! Abuser # 2 was four years older than I was I thought he was more mature but he didn’t still continue to run the street with the boys, cheat and wanted to fight when he didn’t get his way.
Abuser #3 was the icing to both 1&2 He was controlling, jealous insecure a cheater and more we fought all the time it wasn’t till one night I just knew he was going to kill me after an exhausting fight he took a broom stick broke it in half after beating with it said I should just take the sharp part of the stick & kill you. I knew that was the end, but the incident that gave me the green light to leave happened 7/18/1996 I will share later. My determination now is to help as many women, men and children live wholesome and healthy lives… know the difference between Love & Lust. I’ve been in 29 markets, 14 States & two Countries, making a difference in the lives of many.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been nothing but smooth sailing every since.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We do workshops one sessions, counseling sessions job search, train on computer, teach life skills how to survive after the leaving, we do luncheons, community outreach, domestic and teen marches. I specialize in speaking motivational speaking and restoring. The work that I’ve done over the years has landed me with awards, 14 proclamations and more.
