Vividbound - Empowering Communities

Mission Accomplished✨️

According to the National Network to End Domestic, "Financial abuse, while less commonly understood, is one of the most powerful methods of keeping a survivor trapped in an abusive relationship and deeply diminishes the victim’s ability to stay safe after leaving an abusive partner. Research indicates that financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases. Surveys of survivors reflect that concerns over their ability to provide financially for themselves and their children was one of the top reasons for staying in or returning to an abusive partner. As with all forms of abuse, financial abuse occurs across all socio-economic, educational, racial, and ethnic groups."

Sadly, Vividbound's clients have all experienced financial abuse. As a result, Vividbound hosted a financial literacy workshop for the Empowering Steppers. Helping adolescents gain financial literacy is essential. Most importantly, Vividbound thoroughly enjoyed hosting the financial literacy workshop and the opportunity to meet many beautiful spirits.

Empowering Steppers' mission is to empower young girls through mentorship, community service, and of course, step. Thank you, Empowering Steppers, for your partnership and for the opportunity to build on Vividbound's mission to end abuse while helping survivors transform to thriving ✨️

Looking forward to our next collaboration, Empowering Steppers!

Thank you Generations Real Estate (GRE) and AFT Outreach Ministries for your partnership and donations towards the needs for this workshop: folders, papers, and pencils.

"Knock Out Domestic Violence"

Understanding & Addressing Abuse:"Identifying the Signs & Taking Action"

According to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), 57% of college students who report experiencing dating violence and abuse said it occurred in college.

Vividbound had the pleasure to partner with

UNC Health in presenting to the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

The Kappa Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta is the first black Greek sorority at UNC Chapel. It was an honor to have been able to present to such an amazing group. The presentation involved a discussion about domestic violence, identifying when someone is being abused, how to help someone/friend who is experiencing intimate partner violence, self-care, and more. We also provided the opportunity to do group activities that were engaging and enlightening.

Thank you, UNC Health (Melinda Manning) and the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. (UNC Deltas) for the partnership and invitation to do a presentation.
