I am a survivor…I am no longer a victim of my past circumstances.
Today I promise to:
Reach out for my deliverance
Embrace my recovery
Receive my healing and
Release all the pain that sexual abuse and rape trauma brings.
Today I am stronger…I now realize that I hold the keys to unlock my empowerment:
I choose to be delivered so that I can fulfill my destiny
I demand my recovery because God and I have a plan
I claim my healing because I know I have a purpose and
I must release the pain so that I can breathe again.
ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF AND THE WORK I DO AS AN ADVOCATE FOR SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND DNA!
I Choose Respect: Boundaries
Why raising awareness is imperative to our communities unapologetically!
Reaching beyond borders to impact the lives of others
I’m the director of a non-profit that serves survivors of sexual assault, and I’ve asked Lavinia Masters to speak at several events convened by my organization to advocate for a better legal system response to sexual assault. Each time, Ms. Masters has proven herself to be a surpassingly skillful and gifted speaker. She speaks with great strength and power, but also with great compassion and kindness. She has a remarkable ability to speak spontaneously, from the heart and with no script, but with tremendous discipline and clarity. I would be honored to attend any event at which she was speaking. She is a gifted woman who uses her gift to make the world more just.
Lavinia Masters is a powerful advocate and speaker who moves audiences to take action and inspires other survivors to raise their voices. Her courage to come forward has inspired change at both the state and federal levels.
In the fall of 2019 as the co-chair of Equity Richland, I met Mrs.
Lavinia Masters. At that time, she was a panelist at two sessions of
our program entitled “I Am Evidence: A Community
Conversation.” During and after both sessions I had the
opportunity to witness her expressive public speaking skills, her
openness, transparency, and ability to transform the audience.
Her presence contributed to standing room only in the packed
gallery. Her kindness, professionalism, servant leadership, and
willingness to go beyond what was required of her, have forever
transformed my desire to continue to be of service to others.
I was so honored to have the chance to feature Lavinia Masters as a speaker for a film I produced and starred in about my experience with sexual assault. Lavinia speaks with such clarity and bold honesty about her own experience, and coming from that place, she creates a loving and empowered space for other survivors and everyone who is listening. She is a bright light and powerful voice that is relentless, brave, and deeply loving. Lavinia makes every single person in her audience feel heard, valued, and that everything is going to be alright. For those of us working through traumas, there is nothing more gratifying and important. I am so grateful to her, and would highly recommend her as a speaker always.
I would describe Mrs. Lavinia B. Masters as a true master (pun intended) of her craft. Public speaking is not for everyone. It can be both scary and intimidating, to say the least. But Lavinia has been chosen for this assignment. Her speeches not only touch every individual in the room, but she reaches to places that pull on our heartstrings that we never saw coming. Her voice permeates to the core of her subject matters. She uses her expressions to give thought-provoking speeches that come straight from her heart.
I appreciate her talks because I can always count on leaving with something that I thought I didn't need, like a better perspective on something. She has a way of allowing her audience to see things differently for the better of mankind.
I would recommend Lavinia to be a Public Speaker in any room because she will give you the flowers of life through her words that will captivate you and long be remembered.
Lavinia was and is amazing. She spoke thoughtfully and intelligently about a subject most would cringe at discussing. Her story and the way she told it made me realize I have met a very special person and that apart from this work we would become friends.
Lavinia changed my outlook and gave me hope for the future. To go through the horrible violence that she did but yet be willing to share her story to help others was beyond appreciated. She is thoughtful, brave, courageous, and caring.
Speakers like this; people like this are so rare.
Indeed, I am more than an act as I provide my expertise and training to middle and high schools as well as Charter Schools, Colleges, and Universities. I can be found speaking to the military, Corporate America, non-profit organizations, focus groups, law enforcement, Congress/Legislation, and law firms, as well as consulting directors/actors and celebrities on how to remain trauma-informed and survivor-centered when dealing with personnel on set and behind the scenes and the general public. Reach out to me to see how I can cater to your needs for your organization.
