Chit Chat with B.Fly Welcomes Special Guest Mildred Muhammad

Mildred Muhammad is a domestic violence survivor with a story to tell the world.  It is not just "a" story – it is "one of the many" stories built on the experiences of domestic violence and the depths of its terror. After her children were kidnapped and her inability to go on living without them, she began the silent struggle of looking for them, knowing that if she exposed herself, John Allen Muhammad would locate her and kill her.  She was triumphant in her struggle to get through those 18 months of not knowing where her children were and re-gained full custody of them.  She fled from her estranged husband and moved to Maryland with the children.  She was frightened during the horrific sniper shootings, sat through court proceedings during the trial, and last but not least, began re-gaining her strength to start a 501©3 non-profit organization, After The Trauma, to assist survivors of domestic violence.  

She’s a Domestic Violence Consultant for the U.S. Dept of State as well as a "National/International Spokesperson" for domestic violence and has been honored as being the keynote speaker, telling her story, for many conferences regarding domestic abuse/violence, children and trauma and PTSD. She speaks to victims/survivors of domestic violence, trainer/educator for law enforcements, advocates, judges, therapist, counselors, social workers, military facilities, medical professionals and at various universities.  She is an advocate, trainer and accompanies victims & survivors to court.  She is a consultant with the Office for Victims of Crime and is a board member of different domestic violence organizations.  

Her book, ‘Scared Silent’, was released October 2009 by Simon and Schuster.  The reviews have been very favorable and supportive.
