TAU PSI ZETA SORORS SHARE THEIR STORIES Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. These victims are both men and women who are being or have been abused by someone who they once thought really loved them. During 2021 Illinois Domestic Violence Awareness Week, Tau Psi Zeta hosted “Survivors Speak” a virtual segment where three of our brave and finer Sorors, Robbie Jewell, Donyel Hobbs-Williams and Denise Stewart, shared their past experiences with domestic violence. These sorors shared their personal and touching stories with domestic violence and how it has helped change them into the women they are today. Thank you again sorors for sharing your stories. Attendees walked away touched by the stories shared, informed and motivated to stand up against domestic violence and to try to help those who are in need of assistance. Information was provided regarding available resources to those in need. In an effort to continue servicing the community, TPZ donated $200 to Mutual Ground Shelter which is a counselling, advocacy, and education shelter that works towards helping families that have been impacted by domestic violence.
