“Attendees are still buzzing about how much they enjoyed Stacey Patton. She was most impressive in stature and compelling in presentation.”

Jacqueline Ross Brown First Shiloh Baptist Church, Buffalo, New York

“When Ms. Patton spoke at our fundraising event, she did so with a sense of purpose. Her choice of words and style of delivery had the audience relating and accepting that there is nothing typical about abuse, only abused children. As a group, they knew of our mission and heard other stories, but Ms. Patton changed their hearts and we gained philanthropists for our cause.”

Sondra Jackson Board Trustee, Wynona’s House, New Jersey

“We read That Mean Old Yesterday as the third book in a series of books for inservice credit as CASA volunteers. The culmination of the series was a session planned with Stacey Patton. She mesmerized the group that gathered to hear her story, a story that touched them and in turn many individuals were also able to share their own stories. It was truly amazing to watch others open up so freely. As she gave of herself, others also wanted to! She was truly inspirational.”

“Ms. Patton brings a rare perspective, thought-provoking; yet so powerful. She is dynamic in her presentation and engaging with her audience. Her courage andtalent shine through. Words which come to mind to describe Ms. Patton include inspirational, bold and creative. Ms. Patton’s voice and insight would benefit human service professionals or educators working with children and families.”
