What is a Face Without Shame?

A Face Without Shame started from a woman revealing her life and experiences about domestic violence. There was a time in life and America where people were still being shamed by speaking about being a victim of domestic abuse. It took courage to lift up her head and to look the people of the world in their eyes and reveal herself in hopes to save others. Shemaryah Mannie told her stories over and over again; living in her truths and stood strong as she often faced ridicule by naysayers. Shemaryah Mannie created A Face Without Shame to unite victims of all traumas, insecurities, and personal dilemmas that we as people endure.
