YWCA Hosts Mildred Muhammad

Mildred Muhammad will be Speaking October 10th at 5:30 p.m. in the CUB JR. Ballroom.
 
Mildred Muhammad is a domestic violence survivor with a story to tell the world.It is not just a story – it is one of the many stories built on the experiences of domestic violence and the depths of its terror.
 
After her children were kidnapped and her inability to go on living without them, she began the silent struggle of looking for them, knowing that if she exposed herself, John Allen Muhammad would locate her and kill her. She was triumphant in her struggle and re-gained full custody of them.
 
She was frightened during the horrific sniper shootings. She began re-gaining her strength to start a 501©3 non-profit organization, After The Trauma, to assist survivors of domestic violence.
 
Her book, ‘Scared Silent’, was released October 2009 by Simon and Schuster. The reviews have been very favorable and supportive. Many have identified with her story and have expressed gratitude to her for sharing her personal story. She is currently attending Everest University and will receive her degree in Criminal Justice.
