Survivor Music
Be A Voice
Yvonne Goss is one of my personal hero's. After she and her sisters convicted their father and won the case for his sexually abusing them as children, she wrote this song. She currently performs with her band "New Vision" and sings "Be a Voice" to reach out and spread awareness for sexually abused children. She speaks in churches courageously, including to those who really don't want to listen. I'm certain her incredible voice and song will touch your heart as it has mine."
