We’ve heard just a part of her story before and now Katrina Walker is returning to “Conversations Of A Sistah” to discuss her rise and challenge from the darkness of Domestic Violence.

An Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and Motivational Speaker, Katrina Walker converted what she knows verses what she’s experienced, into a motivational tool for success! When life gives you lemons, you spin that negativity and make lemonade. And this motivational speaker is proof that through pain there’s purpose.

Masking the pain of Domestic Violence… Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

In light of the recent events in the news with the video going viral of NFL player Ray Rice knocking the crap out of his then fiancé, Janay Rice, (who months later became his wife) in an Atlantic City hotel, this incident sparked new conversations concerning Domestic Violence.

Nationally, nearly 10% of all homicides are committed by an intimate partner (spouse, boyfriend and/or girlfriend), according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting data from 2012. Of all the homicides known to be committed by an intimate partner, 80% of the victims are women.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and for most victims of domestic violence, there is no witness, no camera. For about half, there is no police report. So the extraordinary footage of the Ray Rice incident is shedding new light on a problem hidden behind so many closed doors, which is why Domestic Violence can be so easily masked behind pain.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I talk… masking the painful reality of Domestic Violence.
