Two South Florida advocates who broke free from abusive relationships opened up about their past. Shanda Roberts and Shanika Ampah shared their stories on Voices with Jawan Strader. They talked about how the "Surviving R. Kelly" docu-series brought back painful memories. Roberts runs the non-profit group Pain 2 Purpose, which serves women who are victims of domestic violence. Ampah heads Glo, Inc., a local group that helps victims escape human trafficking.
