About Kendra:
“I am the Founder and Executive Director of Awaken Voices Domestic Violence Services, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to empowering survivors through support, education, and advocacy. I’m also a Certified Domestic Violence Advocate and a 16-year survivor of domestic violence, so this work is deeply personal; it’s not just work, it’s purpose. I understand firsthand the fear, barriers, and silence that survivors face, which allows me to connect with them through lived experience, compassion, and understanding.
Awaken Voices provides survivor-centered support, including safety and exit planning, resource navigation, support groups, community education, and empowerment-based training. Our goal is to help survivors rebuild confidence, restore self-worth, find their voices, and move from survival to empowerment.
What excites me most is seeing lives transformed. As we expand across Georgia through partnerships, outreach, and education, we are breaking cycles, restoring hope, raising awareness, and changing the way the story ends.”
