Voices of Strength
Voices of Strength: Night of Expression is an annual event
presented by the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay in collaboration with the Sexual
Violence Task Force and hosted by the Carrollwood Cultural Center, dedicated to
empowering survivors through a creative lens. At Voices of Strength, survivors
have the opportunity to express themselves through poetry, art, music, dance,
comedy, and writings about the journey of recovery from sexual violence and the
transformation into empowerment.
If you are a survivor
and are interested in performing, please contact Marilyn Shamblin at
mshamblin@crisiscenter.com. All participants will have a 3-5 minute window of
presentation, but there is a limited number of open positions, so please RSVP
today!
There will be an Open
Mic after the intermission which will give survivors in the audience the
opportunity to share their messages of empowerment and transformation.

A silent auction and
bake sale will take place during the event to raise funds for future workshops
and events. The items to be auctioned consist of survivor-made artwork,
jewelry, and other miscellaneous items. If you are a survivor and would like to
donate something you have made to be auctioned, please email Marilyn Shamblin
at mshamblin@crisiscenter.com.
This event will take
place on Saturday, November 16th from 4:00pm -7:00pm at the Carrollwood
Cultural Center. We are looking forward to spending this beautiful evening of
transformation and inspiration with you!
