Meet Author & Lecturer Donna Palomba at Valley Shore Toastmasters Open House

Please join Valley Shore Toastmasters for an Open House, Monday February 4th featuring author and lecturer Donna Palomba.


After a brutal home invasion and sexual assault in 1993, Donna transformed her life, moving from victim to warrior to survivor, changing police policy and Connecticut state law along the way.


In 2007 Donna founded Jane Doe No More, Inc,. a national non-profit dedicated to improving the way society responds to victims of sexual assault through education, awareness, advocacy, and support. Her story is one of "hope and perseverance, and bears witness to the fact that good will ultimately triumph over evil".
