Denise Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, has committed herself to raising awareness against domestic violence. Denise's life took a dramatic flip on June twelve, 1994, when her sister was murdered. Currently she has committed her life to raising awareness concerning a crime that kills 3 ladies every day in the United States.
When she recently came to Amelia Island, she was the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for Micah's Place, Inc., Nassau County, Florida's only Certified Domestic Violence Center. I had the chance to take a seat down with Brown for a very candid conversation and video interview to debate the increasing rates of domestic abuse, a message she needs shared with the youth of our country, her rarely spoken about relationship together with her sister and what Denise Brown has planned for her future.
One among Brown's biggest considerations is the misunderstanding that domestic violence is not a serious issue. She told me that the numbers of calls coming into the crisis centers are increasing. The extra monetary stress families are facing as a result of of our nation's poor economic health seems to be adding to the incidents of violence within the home.
Anger management isn't the solution to domestic violence and abuse. More shelters are required, Batterer's Treatment Programs would like to be expanded and education needs to start at an earlier age. The Violence Against Girls's Act has helped with additional funds for shelters and programs, however awareness and public service announcements don't seem to be coated in the funding. Domestic violence could be a cycle which will be broken. This is not a taboo topic and there are not any acceptable excuses. Nobody ought to have to endure physical, mental and emotional terrorism in their own home.
Having traveled the country speaking at prisons, treatment centers and shelters, there are some words regarding this violent crime the youth of our nation desires to hear. "You do not need to date the captain of the soccer team if he isn't a pleasant person." Domestic violence may be a selection somebody makes; and our youngsters would like to be taught this at an earlier age. The book, Hands aren't for Hitting, could be a great resource to teach our kids that physical violence is unacceptable. This colorful, bright and inviting book helps unfold this important message to even the youngest of children that hitting isn't okay.
Though Brown has not publicly spoken regarding Nicole Brown Simpson abundant in the past, she has recently realized that to several, her sister has not been portrayed as "a true person" through the media. When we sat down with Denise, she displayed about her sister and what she knew about the violent relationship Nicole was concerned in prior to her murder. During this touching interview, the link can be found below, Denise speaks of her sister as a hopeless romantic, and during this moment of remembrance she unconsciously uses the present tense.
Domestic violence may be a learned behavior that touches real people. Not just poor folks, not simply celebrities and not simply women! Brown is determined to banish the darkness, finish the silence, spread awareness and stop the cycle of violence. She founded The Nicole Brown Foundation (NicoleBrown.org), a non-profit national advocacy organization against domestic violence targeted on bringing awareness, education and inspiration to others. Denise learned through diaries and notes that her sister had suffered over seventeen years of verbal, mental, physical and emotional abuse.
Through the Nicole Brown Foundation, public service announcements displayed on Los Angeles city buses are generating calls from men. Men who are being abused are calling their hot-line and thus are the lads who need to know how to assist somebody out of these dangerous and life threatening situations.
Breaking the circle of domestic violence is not simple, neither is making the selection to get out of a violent relationship. Statistics show that the abused come back to their abusers again and once more before they finally get out and receive the support they need to begin over with their lives.
Therefore, what is next for Denise Brown? She is laying the muse for The Elite Speaker's Bureau to debate not simply domestic violence, however additionally other problematic issues of social responsibility utilizing real folks, not just celebrities, who are experts in their field.
