We are excited to announce that the keynote speaker for our graduation will be Dorris Walker-Taylor!

She also was an Executive Producer of the documentary, "Thistle," and authored the powerful autobiographical book Hope is Always Real. You can purchase her book at the Magdalene Omaha Community Center, at Thistle Lights sales - including following graduation! - and via our webstore (www.magdaleneomaha.org/shop). Dorris will be available to sign copies of her book at the reception following graduation. Please join us on October 13th to hear her inspirational message about the difference the Magdalene residential program means for survivors!
We can't wait to see you there!
