"Janine Latus is the most compelling speaker on sexual assault and relationship abuse I've ever heard."

“We used Janine as our Keynote for our largest fundraiser of the year. We wanted to normalize topics of abuse like domestic violence in the community to spread awareness about resources. We want people to know that they are not alone. Janine’s story resonates with audiences to put into perspective the value of victim service providers, like the YWCA Greater Harrisburg. Her presentation is heartfelt and brings awareness to the darkest of outcomes involving intimate partner abuse. Janine spent… Read more

Janine Latus is a powerful activist who brought her story and advocacy to the University of South Alabama with truth, courage, passion, and a strong voice to help give a phenomenal talk as part of V-Day 2019.  The audience responded deeply to her message, with many staying after the program to speak directly with Janine.  We are thankful for her work and her visit to USA.

“Janine Latus is a powerful speaker. She tells her story and that of her sister with so much truth and confidence. She is an amazing presenter and a woman of substance. Janine is the epitome of what our society needs today. She spreads awareness and puts the word out there. She saves one life at a time by bringing to light the horrors in our community as well as ways to identify them and work to eradicate them. Getting to hear her speak is a once in a lifetime opportunity that no individual sh… Read more

“When I watched Janine’s TedTalk, I was compelled to call her immediately to discuss booking her for our student-athletes. Her story is gripping. Her presentation provides many opportunities for students and staff to learn the often insidious nature of unhealthy relationships as well as ways to intervene with friends and family who may be in an unhealthy relationship. I highly recommend Janine for education in this area.”

I just wanted to let you know that the impact of your talk has been reverberating like a stone thrown into a pond. The splash was fantastic enough itself, but the ripples have been sobering and hopeful all at once. I have received calls from attendees, one after the next, who want to help a friend, or a good friend’s sister or a sister’s good friend….We have been putting informational packets together not for clients—those, of course we have—but for the concerned loved ones who are tire… Read more

As Janine began to speak about her journey through the horrors of domestic violence in her life she shared about the types of abuse. She spoke of sexual abuse, financial abuse, cyber manipulation, and of course emotional and physical abuse. I sat there spellbound as well, and watched the entire audience sit wide-eyed, silent and captivated. Seeing the power and control wheel was new information to most of the people. The entire presentation was professional, personal and riveting. Janine, you… Read more

Thank you for sharing your story last night at the YWCA’s Women of Excellence. I have lost several friends to domestic violence. I used to be one of those people who just didn’t get why a woman stayed until I got older and saw the way abusers manipulate their victims. My deepest condolences to you for your sister but she still lives on through you and your story. I wholeheartedly believe everyone can do something to save even just one person. Thank you again.

“Janine was the keynote speaker for our inaugural luncheon celebrating survivors of domestic abuse and their journeys forward. She gave a moving, captivating, and emotional address to our 330 guests. Because of her storytelling and talents, Janine helped AVDA raise over $300,000. We are grateful for her and would recommend hiring her at your next fundraising event.”
