For the month of October we are highlighting members of the CATCH Court graduating class, a two-year diversion program for female human trafficking survivors, who worked alongside the WAV workshops team to write and record an original song together.
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we will share their stories through intimate interviews and feature local support services for victims of violence and organizations that help create a social impact in our community.
Stay tuned because we will also feature the artist who created the captivating and colorful single artwork and end with the premier of their song "Raised My Wings".
