Personally, she has survived some of life’s most violent crimes committed against women.

She experienced horrific physical and sexual abuse. Now, she is available to talk about her courageous journey from looking for love in all the wrong places to finding love within herself. She has a message of inspiration, hope, redemption and lessons on how she rebuilt her life. She shares her personal story about being raped at the age of 16, and at the age 18 lost an eye to domestic violence which resulted in fear, and low self-esteem. She has triumphed over these tragedies and she is an experienced Domestic Violence Specialist Trainer and Motivational speaker who has dedicated her life to teaching others who have suffered similarities how to turn their lives from victimization into victory and from tragedy into triumph.

Jacqueline Limehouse is a woman on a mission whose goal is to stop violence against women, men, and children of all ages. She knows that dysfunctional thinking inherent in domestic violence has been an obstruction for human relationship due the degrading plight of silence that has been passed on from generation to generation. It has been too often a silent crisis for families, communities and for our nation.

SHE IS DETERMINED TO BE HEARD AND WILL DO HER PART IN ERADICATING THIS REPULSIVE FORM OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

SHE IS DETERMINED TO BE HEARD!
