“Ressurrection is captivating when she speaks to an audience. She doesn’t speak at us, she speaks to us. During the Ten Ways of Safeguarding your Child from Sexual Abuse’s live taping, I was impressed by the depth of the material, and the delivery.”
-Treona Kelty, Founder of Beautiful U, Yes U
Ressurrection Graves has recorded her first television show, “Ten Ways to Safeguard your Child from Sexual Abuse”, and an interview with Sylvia Henderson on “Think About it” airing first on Monday August 8, 2011 at 10pm on Montgomery County Maryland station Channel 16! Let’s get to know Ressurrection a bit, and please check out the “Ressurrection Sightings” below.
Ressurrection Graves is a known poet, faithful to the U Street Corridor‘s poetry scene when BarNun was the spot for “The Movement” hosted by: Matthew Payne. Ressurrection has featured and hosted poetry events along the East Coast for crowds who find her work to be deepening emotionally at times. She heals in word and touch, offering medical body work through H.E.A.L. Massage and Bodywork for the past 5 years.
Ressurrection believes that there is no other way to BE except to BE. Extraordinary! Her first poem was published in a dance magazine at age 12 and, she stepped behind her first microphone as a poet just five years later, Ms. Graves has published several poetry books. After a period of spiritual renewal and indulgence in other entrepreneurial adventures, Ressurrection has returned with a poem that is turning the world inside out. Her truthful and candid imagery of the process in which she has overcome emotional and sexual abuse, is taking her work to a depth that creates a powerful atmosphere for change.
Seldom does artistry take on such a deeply empowering purpose sifting away at the untouched parts and giving way to healing. Ressurrection delivers three inspiring hands-on talks: “Ten Ways to Safeguard your Child from Sexual Abuse“, “The Power of Saying, NO!”, and “Teen Dating Relationships: Violence and Emotional Wellness”. She hosts events, performs poetry upon request, and is available for book signings, and book talks as well.
