It's Already the End of January......

Nora Dicker, Assistant Director from the Straight Talk Support Group joins us tonight.  They have a transitional house for offenders returning to the community.

Ms. Nora Dicker is the Assistant to the Executive Director at STSG. She grew up in Chapel Hill, NC. She has always had a passion to help others. She went to Indiana University where she got her Bachelors in Social Work with a minor in Spanish. While at school, she worked at an emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Ms. Dicker was part of the Crisis program, and enjoyed working in crisis situations. After graduation Ms. Dicker volunteered on the crisis line and provided childcare for the Compass Center in Chapel Hill. She appreciated the opportunity to work with survivors but also wanted to be able to explore opportunities working with justice involved individuals and prison reform. Through looking into organizations that work with people involved with the justice system, she was connected to STSG. Since beginning at STSG, Ms. Dicker has been able to organize the donation of bicycles, laptops, art materials, and some gardening supplies!

Reverend Curtis Gatewood also joined the discussion.
