A Voice Raised Can Save a Life
In every community, there is a home where the silence is deafening. Behind those closed doors, pain hides in plain sight. Smiles mask bruises. Laughter covers years of fear.
This October, we are done being silent.
We rise. We speak. We coronate the voices that never gave up.
At the heart of Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia, where history meets hope, we gather not to celebrate crowns of gold but to honor crowns of courage.
Join us on October 4th, 2025 as Speak Up For A Change, in partnership with the City of Virginia Beach and the honorable Mayor Bobby Dyer, hosts Coronation 2025. This is a landmark event where survivors become leaders, pain turns to purpose, and silence is replaced with strength.
This Is More Than a Ceremony. This Is a Movement.
Domestic violence doesn’t always leave visible scars. It tears into mental health, rips apart identity, and isolates the strongest souls from their communities.
Even with programs and policies, many homes remain trapped in the shadows, families silently enduring what they don’t know how to escape.
That is why this event matters.
Coronation 2025 is not about recognition; it is about restoration.
It is our moment to spotlight young women and girls who have survived unthinkable trauma and now stand as ambassadors of healing, supported by one selected leader who represents the voice of every home still battling in silence.
What To Expect
- A Royal Gathering: African kings, queens, and dignitaries from across the diaspora will be in attendance to stand with us in unity
- Powerful Presentations: Each woman crowned has a story, and each story is a wake-up call to society
- A United Front: With leadership from Mayor Bobby Dyer and collaboration with the City of Virginia Beach, this event signifies a collective commitment to mental health, family safety, and true community healing
- The Purple Throne Awaits: Set in the majestic halls of the Hampton Roads Convention Center, this coronation is surrounded by culture, resilience, and royalty
Buy a Ticket. Make a Stand.

Together, We Speak Up for a Change
Let’s close the disparity gap. Let’s bring unity and diversity to every culture.
But most of all, let’s protect every home from pain, tears, and agony.
Because healing is not a private matter.
It is a public responsibility.
