This #MondaysWithMelba, I’m launching the #WomensHistoryMonth series featuring ladies who are making a difference in our community! First up is Mahlia Lindquist, who is the founder of LEAP: Ladies Empowerment and Action Program and Dragonfly Boutique! Her organization works with women who have been incarcerated. Did you know that over 80% of women who end up in prison are survivors of sexual assault, molestation or domestic violence? Re-entry work is literally life saving and prevents crime.
Learn more about LEAP for Ladies at www.leapforladies.org; visit Dragonfly Boutique in person or online at www.dragonflyboutique.org.
Lastly, learn more about the bad bills being introduced this legislative session in Florida here; be sure to reach out to your legislators to vote NO!
