Crochet for Awareness Fundraiser

Posted by Arlene Major | Apr 18, 2018 | LB Flavah | 0 |

Domestic violence is not physical violence alone. Domestic violence is any behavior the purpose of which is to gain power and control over a spouse, partner, girl/boyfriend or intimate family member. Abuse is a learned behavior; it is not caused by anger, mental problems, drugs or alcohol, or other common excuses. acesdv.org

50 Shades Of Blue Baltimore Stories Of DV Survival is partnering with Crystal Danette Jones and Crystal’s Closet to raise awareness and $500 or more for the 4th annual awareness event coming up in October 2018.

Starting Saturday April 21st thru May 31st 2018 we will crochet unique Granny Squares of all shades including the signature Purple and Blue for you to purchase as a donation towards the fundraiser. All proceeds go towards the event.

Her Vision 18 @ New Orleans Bioinnovation Center

May 25 @ 7:00 PM – May 27 @ 10:00 PM

#HerVision18 Weekend, the premier event presented by the #IAmSimplyBeautiful Global Movement and IAmAshleyALove.com is for women who are ready to not only take their vision to the next level, but also take their life to new heights. From networking and vision planning and creation to open dialogue and recognition to powerful women making an impact in society, this weekend is sure to leave you not only wanting more in your life and vision, but taking the necessary steps to make it a reality.

This years theme is: No Validation Needed!

It is so easy when you are walking towards your vision to seek other people’s approval or validation of what you are doing, but what many fail to realize is that your vision was placed in you by God for a reason and YOU may be the only person that sees that it can become a reality and the benefits it will have in your life and in the world and thats okay. It is time to declare, No Validation Needed, and keep it moving!

We will cover the following topics during our presentations during the #HerVision Summit on Friday and Saturday:

Friday – Create your Life Vision
