Her advocacy in domestic violence (DV) prevention was galvanized by personal tragedy, the loss of a close friend to domestic violence. This profound event reinforced her mission to help women reclaim their strength, independence, and rightful place as leaders in society.
Influenced by the resilience of her mother and grandmother, Ms. Desiré deeply admires the countless unsung heroines who champion the leadership and empowerment of women and girls worldwide.
