“I know firsthand that finding the courage to walk away and rebuild your life is not easy,” Redd said in the event announcement. “The Courageous Awards is my way of reminding survivors that their pain does not define them, their voices matter, and there is hope and healing on the other side of survival.”
Smith, who also participated last year, emphasized the importance of standing together.
“When women come together with purpose, we have the power to change lives,” Smith said. “I’m honored to stand with Karlie again to celebrate these courageous survivors and remind them they are seen, supported, and never alone.”
Fair, author of “Undefined Evidence” and founder of TAI Nation, will bring a perspective focused on men’s responsibility in preventing abuse.
“Domestic violence is not just a women’s issue. It’s a community issue,” Fair said. “As men, we have a responsibility to help break destructive cycles, stand with survivors, and create a future where families can thrive without fear.”
Adeyemi, herself a domestic violence survivor, will help spotlight prevention, educational opportunities, and resources supporting long-term independence.
The event will take place at Atlanta Central Library, One Margaret Mitchell Square, Atlanta, GA 30303. Attire is business casual.
