Karli Butler is a fourth generation Evanstonian. She was the director of social services at Curt's Café and is now a program officer at the Evanston Community Foundation. In 2006, on her way to earning her master's in multicultural communications, she became the victim of an horrific acid attack by a complete stranger. This trauma forced her to reevaluate everything including her own identity and what it means to be strong, resilient, beautiful, and forgiving. We learn about how she found the strength to recover and continues to use that strength to help others.
Curt's Café does a lot of good on the North Shore. Find out what that looks like at https://curtscafe.org/.
