Tony GREEN | Musician

Music is like food to the soul. My music is like therapy. With music I don’t have to travel far to reach out to anyone. I don’t have to be in your house to touch or heal you. My music has been a strong source of motivation, inspiration, hope and happiness Read more>>

Jennifer Blue | DV Survivor, Playwright & Author

I have been on quite the journey. After going through years of abuse myself, I realized there was a real need for a supportive community for survivors like me. That’s why I founded Sister Survivor Society. Our mission is all about providing a safe and empowering space for women who have been through trauma to heal and rebuild their lives. But most importantly to celebrate their healing. Sister Survivor Society is all about serving those who think there isn’t life after trauma. Our creative and unique workshops are tailored to help these incredible women find their strength and confidence again. It’s all about giving them the tools they need to thrive. Through my speaking engagements, stage play, and book, I’m able to raise awareness about the realities of surviving a toxic relationship and the importance of supporting survivors. I believe that by sharing my own story of overcoming abuse, I can inspire others to believe in their strength and resilience. One of the most rewarding aspects is seeing the transformation in the women we support. By celebrating their journey of healing and empowerment, Sister Survivor Society is helping them reclaim their lives and move forward with strength and purpose. We’re always looking for ways to expand our reach and make an even bigger impact. Right now, we’re in the process of pitching my stageplay/book “Easier Said than Done” as a movie to major streaming platforms. I believe that by amplifying the voices of survivors, we can advocate for societal changes that aim to prevent violence and support survivors Read more>>

Connection is a lost art. We’ve slowly given up on our soul’s basic human need in favor of virtual connection. And while that may satisfy the mind, the heart wants the real thing. Divinity & Company fulfills the desires of the heart and soul. Read more>>
