We’re proud to welcome two exceptional guest speakers, Tammy Casselson and Anastasia Sagris-Desmond, co-authors of “The Grimmest of FairyTales,” who will lead an insightful and thought-provoking talk about an issue that touches every community, family, domestic and sexual violence. Books will be for sale on the day.
While the topic is serious, this event is designed to inspire, educate and empower, not to retraumatise.
