Jennifer Lee was held up at gun point in a busy shopping mall. "Give me your money" he said - "Give me your money." The story began there and continues today as she Stands Up & Speaks Up as a survivor/advocate and host of "I Need Blue" podcast. Rescued by law enforcement, Jen was immediately grateful for the 911 assistance and the officers who responded to the robbery. However, like many victims of crime she put up the mask and became a Woman Behind the Smile - until years later when she recounted her story. Now her pain would become her passion and her purpose and she wanted other victims to know they weren't alone. Her determination is stronger than her fear. Trauma changes your life - Tell your story. Stand Up & Speak is hosted by Debby MontgomeryJohnson, a Survivor/Victim Advocate and together with Jennifer, they encourage victims to share their stories.
