Knock Out Abuse!

Placeholder

Last night we partied for a cause at a happy hour with the Junior Board members of Knock Out Abuse Against Women at Teddy & The Bully Bar. KOA has helped women and children affected by domestic violence for 21 years; the Jr. Board engages the younger generation to raise awareness. We snapped You Successful You’s Jana Sedlakova, and Jr. Board co-vice chair Kadrieka Maiden and chairwoman Elle Arlook.
