Our Founder and CEO
In 2016, Patrisha's celebrity husband was arrested for domestic violence. The headlines of this arrest, telling the world of her 29-year secret, were mortifying. But this news prompted women all around Patrisha in her hometown of Camden, Maine to tell Patrisha that they too had been through domestic abuse: THIS sparked Finding Our Voices.
