Domestic Violence creates unseen and profound ripple effects.
My name is Joseph Alban, and my mother was a victim of domestic violence.
My life was forever altered by an act of domestic violence that occurred more than 30 years before my birth.
When my mother was 22, she was shot in the back by a jealous ex-boyfriend while sleeping. Then, he turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger.
Somehow, he survived his self-inflicted wound and fully recovered.
Unfortunately, my mother was not so lucky, as she was left permanently paralyzed from the waist down.
Domestic violence is a taboo subject that is so repugnant that nobody wants to discuss it. Silencing open discussions of domestic violence hurts victims and their loved ones into feeling greater shame and guilt.
To counter this, I’ve shared my own story and collected success stories of success and triumph you can read and reflect upon.
My Approach
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Dream it
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
Build it
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
