- The words we use can either create enormous walls of isolation or build beautiful bridges of understanding. In this inspiring talk, Audrey May Prosper, a long-time advocate against domestic violence shares both personal and professional insight from her journey while also offering two simple ways to shift the narrative around domestic violence from one that is destructive to one that is restorative -- so we can do advocacy differently and truly nurture healthier communities. A talk to share. As the Founder of the National Domestic Violence Collaborative, Audrey finds meaningful and proactive ways to do advocacy differently by focusing on the roots in order to produce healthy fruits. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This was so powerful! Thank you for this message. It empowered me as a survivor who shares their story. I too had changed the narrative. Surprisingly to me was how offended many became when I shared how I had forgiven my abuser and built a bridge for the family. Keep being courageous Audrey and change the world!
This is amazing and you did a GREAT job my sister! I am so proud of you! Thank you for always being in my corner and in the corner of so many. I truly value your friendship. I love you
Thank you for bringing humanity back to all characters in our stories. Words like victim, villain, justice, punishment, crimes, fairness, and courts are a part of our stories, but they are chapters in the full book. Like any amazing hero's journey, we cheer when finding the truth, facing fears, and starting to heal. However, the depth of a human's journey-for both the antagonist and protagonist-is just that of a journey. The shift in our perspective to see the person who abused others to pay for their crime and then find the time to heal is the saving grace that God awards to all of us. May we see the humanity in the human story and be willing to pick up the pen and write the chapters that can truly complete the real story.
Although our stories have different beginnings and ends, I love your grit! You are book smart AND heart smart- eloquent and BRAVE! I admire you like no other! Let's see if we can reduce the number of people experiencing D.V. *LET"S ADVOCATE DIFFERENTLY*.
Great message. You inspire me to be a better man. And proud to know you.
This is truly incredible! You so brilliantly captured truth! Your courage and light is so very bright! Keep shining it on this dark world and keep bringing this beautiful message!
Thank you for sharing this story. As a survivor, I agree with the need to change the narrative on DV. We can't stop abuse if abusers are cast away and not given the help they need as well. I too shared my story on the TEDx stage because I believe the more we tell our story, the better our chance to end the cycle. Great job.
Great message, Audrey! I'm honored to know you and learn from your experience!
NO MORE CRIMINALSPLAINING!!! NO MORE CONVOLUTING WOMEN TO UNDERSTAND MEN... NO MORE COMPROMISING.
You sound like a severe empath and a pacifist in the sense it would be "convoluted" of you to go against the actual knowledge that crimes were committed. You would be "waging war" to against the norms and hold individuals moral, ethical, values and principles oriented, life law abiding and NOT everyone deserves "grace," "favor" or "forgiveness" unless they seek it and unless it should really be granted to them. Also, it isn't your responsibility to understand, own or even accept the assailant's behaviors or that he made you a victim during your encounter(s) but rather it happened and how could you ensure you, and your children aren't impacted by any of it, that your reality could change and you are ALL safe including the abnormal psychology of the assailant.
