who we are
Julie Barth
Julie Barth, author of Notes from A BlackBerry, From Blackberries to Thorns, and upcoming from Thorns to Blossoms is a mother to six children and the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a non for profit dedicated to women-led households with the resources and aid necessary to find security and stability in times of crisis.
Her mission is to use her experiences as caregiver, special needs parent, and trauma survivor to encourage women in similar situations to think resourcefully and always protect themselves without stigma or feelings of selfishness.
Lisa Gross
Founder of PRADAV
A survivor and an advocate. I started out in 2016 with Training as a hotline operator and a shelter intake assistant. My organization is PRADAV. I am a public speaker and sometimes an interrupter. I wear something purple every day so that when people comment on it, I can share information with them to bring awareness about Domestic Violence. I give out purple ribbons.
My motto is: “DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IS IN OCTOBER AND WE NEVER SEE ANY PURPLE RIBBONS”.
I am certified in mental health, first aid, suicide prevention, childhood trauma. I love crafting and Spoken Word.
I am currently writing an autobiography/self-help book entitled “LOST LELA” THE TRILOGY.
