Keynote Speaker
Veraunda I. Jackson, Esquire
Attorney, Author, Trainer and Consultant
When communicating with victims of sex crimes, it is not what you say, but
how you say it! As a victim of rape at the age of sixteen, Veraunda turned
that experience into a rewarding career as a prosecutor who advocated for
both juvenile and adult victims of sex crimes. Veraunda invites professionals,
college students and other groups that advocate on behalf of victims into
the extremely complex and private thought process of victims. She is devoted
to touching the hearts of the professionals who often become worn out and
hardened by the system they work, in addition to providing practical information
to help prevent this crime. She reminds them that everyday they have the
opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.
