Thanks Debbie for promoting the GEMS event. We had a fantastic turnout and the girls did a fantastic job talking about growing from victims to survivors to leader. I'll send you a copy of our white paper.

THe film will air on Showtime at some point in the fall/winter--I'll keep you posted on dates!
