Keynote Speakers
Dr. Beth Richie Dr. Richie's scholarly and activist work has focused on the ways that race/ethnicity and social position affect women's experience of violence, highlighting the experiences of African American battered women and sexual assault survivors. She is currently working to document the conditions of confinement in women's prisons.
Rev. Dr. Marie M. Fortune Dr. Fortune has been a pioneer in the field of religion and domestic violence and a leading national expert on sexual exploitation by religious leaders. She was ordained a minister in the United Church of Christ in 1976. After serving in a local parish, she founded the Center for the Prevention of Sexual and Domestic Violence. Now known as the FaithTrust Institute, its mission is to train religious communities and advocates to address the faith aspects of abuse.
Eli Kimaro will present at our conference this year - showing her film, A Lot Like You and talking about video as a powerful tool to address social justice issues. Eli is a mixed-race, first-generation American activist turned filmmaker. Her enthusiasm will inspire you as she talks about her lifetime of personal and professional experience working for social change.
