State Rep. Josey Garcia is a domestic violence survivor, and she's finally telling her story. She is one of the speakers for the upcoming Collaborative Commission on Domestic Violence Symposium.
1 hour ago– The hardest words to say out loud have become the most important for Texas State Rep. Josey Garcia.
“Quite a few legislators that admitted to me that they would not have voted in support of a particular bill had it not been for my personal testimony,” she said.“It’s really hard to be that vulnerable and share the ugly. But it’s so rewarding to see a glimmer of hope in somebody else’s eyes,” she said.
“It’s so beautiful that you tune into this symposium, and you get moved to ask for help. You get the courage to seek help. This is the time,” Garcia said.
