About Us

Our Vision
This organization has a personal passion to provide extraordinary leadership opportunities for young people who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and only saw themselves as ordinary and broken.
Provide young people with a platform to share their stories in safe spaces, while on a journey to promote healing for themselves and others.
Creating strategic partnerships with like-minded and mission driven organizations.
The advocacy work shall address a life transformation in young people.
Providing assistance in releasing possible mental shame that young people may carry from the ill-behaviors of some adults in their lives, that doesn’t belong to them.
Our Mission
The terms SILENT and LISTEN contain the same letters, yet have a vastly different impact.
Breaking the SILENCE into a transformation of LISTENING to young people, providing support in building a bridge to a deeper, more passionate and persistent foundation for lifelong leadership, while supporting their healing of brokenness, despite the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
My Story
From the desk of Founder & Director Crystal Sanford Brown
From the age of 2, I had a serious speech impediment. Once I began first grade, I received out of class support services through a Title I program at my elementary school.


Remaining SILENT, at age 19 I married someone who would repeat the cycle in which he was reared; domestic abuse. My oldest son was born visually impaired due to first-trimester abuse and now has two life-long visual conditions as a result.
