Women’s Focus has been keeping me busy! I’ve done articles on choosing a veterinarian, summer pet health, the Relay For Life benefiting the American Cancer Society, and summer activities for kids. Whew!
On a more serious note, I also had the privilege of interviewing Denise Brown, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, about her work as a activist against domestic violence. Denise spoke at a fundraiser for the Wichita Women’s Initiative Network, a remarkable organization that has done a lot of good despite flying pretty low under the public radar. Hopefully Denise’s appearance helped change that. WIN provides a secure workplace, access to education and job training, and therapy for women who have left abusive relationships. The two clients I interviewed had made giant steps forward since leaving their abusers and getting in at WIN. It would be great to think that each of them inspired at least two more women to do the same and get themselves and their children on a better path.
