Bradley Angle Benefit Raises Funds for Economic Empowerment

Kelly Russell and Poison Waters

Portland, OR. Kelly Russell and Poison Waters helped get the crowd involved at Bradley Angle’s annual Empowerment Lunch. The benefit on October 18th at The Nines Hotel raised funds to support economic empowerment programs that help survivors of domestic violence by providing financial resources, education, and guidance. Most survivors experience financial abuse, which is why the program is imperative for financial security and success. Speakers included Kenyatta Trice, Bradley Angle’s Economic Empowerment Program Coordinator, Amber Shoebridge, Board Chair, and a former program participant who is starting her own business.
