Keynote Speaker
Givens is also a fierce advocate, in particular, for women who are victims of abuse. She has encouraged them, inspired them and lived a life that gives evidence to thriving after trauma.
“Women must be reminded of the power they have…a power that can be strengthened by pain and suffering. I take every opportunity, that I possibly can, to remind women.”
Robin Givens
