The Voices and Faces Project Speakers Bureau is a national network of rape survivors and advocates who are available to speak publicly about the issue of sexual assault. Our Speakers Bureau participants are available to give presentations and talks for a variety of groups and events, including those at campuses, community centers, places of worship, law enforcement meetings and others. This groundbreaking lecture/slide program will put names and faces on the epidemic of sexual assault, bringing home the reality of sexual violence. To help us speak out and raise awareness of rape as a civil rights and public heath issue, we have partnered with CreativeWell - one of the country's foremost lecture, literary and creative management companies. CreativeWell is committed to representing people and groups whose exemplary dedication and creative vision in their respective fields contribute to expanding the social, personal, creative and/or political horizon. With CreativeWell's help, we will be able to reach diverse communities of women and men, addressing the issue of sexual violence in political as well as personal terms. |

 "Charlotte Pierce-Baker, the featured speaker at our 5th Annual Valentine's Day Distinguished Family Violence Lecture Series, provided an eloquent and moving analysis of how rape cannot be eliminated without ending victims' silence. By telling her own story, and ending her own silence and shame, Dr. Pierce-Baker covered everything there is to know about what our society and culture are doing wrong in our response to rape and rape victims; her insights about the special plight of women of color were powerfully affecting. No one in the audience even thought about leaving and no one there will forget the indelible experience." – Jody Raphael, Senior Research Fellow, Schiller DuCanto & Fleck Family Law Center, DePaul College of Law "Katie Feifer's talk at San Diego State University’s 2008 Take Back the Night event was one of the most powerful parts of the evening. Those in attendance loved that Katie incorporated what she has learned from other survivors. It was great to see someone as strong as Katie acknowledge that she has days and moments that living life as a rape victim can still be hard. Katie tackled the tough issues with sincerity as well as humor, reminding us it's okay to feel a rainbow of emotions about rape at different points in our individual recovery process. Her talk helped the audience see those who have been raped as survivors, not only victims." – Amber Guthrie, Chair, San Diego State University Take Back the Night 2008 "Anne Ream's keynote address at the End Violence Against Women International Conference was an important reminder that when it comes to violence against women, the free and paid media shapes public opinion and drives atittudes in the courtroom. By engaging the audience in real-world examples, and focusing on actionable ways that advocates, law enforcement, and policymakers can better leverage the power of the media, she provided tools we can use to change the way we talk about violence against women in the public space. Anne was dynamic and engaging, and her analysis of the current media landscape was spot-on accurate and insightful." – Joanne Archambault, President, End Violence Against Women International |
