Welcome

LaVerne is co-founder of Exposed The Podcast/Foundation. She is a wife, mother, entrepreneur, author, motivational speaker, advocate, community leader and a THRIVER.      

LaVerne finally gained the courage to expose her own life story of domestic violence by publishing her autobiography “Overcoming The Darkness: Surviving Domestic Violence.”

Little did she know this would be the beginning of her journey to turn her PAIN into PURPOSE & POWER. LaVerne believes transparency builds strength and jumpstarts your healing journey, which then leads us to our PURPOSE & POWER. Her prayer is that by telling her story it will give other survivors permission to stand in their truth and not be ashamed. 

LaVerne also realized men are a huge part of the solution to ending domestic abuse. She is committed to including, partnering, and encouraging men to be involved in the mission to end violence against women.
