From Shadows to Spotlight: The JoJo Dries Story

The personal story of JoJo Dries is a profound narrative of overcoming adversity through courage and relentless advocacy. From enduring years of abuse to establishing a leading nonprofit organization, her life reflects the sheer power of turning pain into purpose. 'The Lotus: How I Beat the Patriarchy' not only chronicles her personal experiences but also serves as a guide for others fighting similar battles.

My Journey

I was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused by my dad and brother from childhood to age 29. I finally escaped. All throughout the years I was being abused, I promised myself that I would one day get out and then help other Abuse Survivors get out. To the outside world, my family growing up looked like the ideal and perfect family. We were part of a religious organization. We grew from penniless to wealthy and people loved our (fake) rags to riches story. We were multi-lingual. We traveled a lot at the end of my time with them. We looked to be living a glamorous life. Behind closed doors, things were VERY ugly. I am one of 6 siblings. My mom is a textbook Domestic Violence Victim. She didn't protect us. I was also in love with my childhood sweetheart and, in my mid-20s, my dad made me stop talking to him. He was so controlling, that I had to say goodbye to the love of my life.
When I finally escaped, match.com reconnected me with the love of my life, my childhood sweetheart, and we ended up eloping on Valentine's Day, 2012. We are now married for 12 years, and have two beautiful children and the most precious dog.I tell you this, because it lays the foundation of why I founded our Nonprofit, On The Wings of Angels, a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit. When I was growing up being abused, I promised myself that I would one day escape, and then I would help other Abuse Survivors escape. We founded the nonprofit, on the wings of those who have died due to domestic violence.

On the Wings of Angels

We provide immediate and tangible community, resources and support for survivors who are removing themselves from abusive situations. We are also a conduit to others who serve survivors. I am most proud that we are a no-red-tape nonprofit, providing immediate help for survivors, without a whole bunch of paperwork or hoops for them to jump through. We also bring awareness to this conversation about domestic violence in our communities. Meaning, we don't shy aware from bringing this up consistently in conversations in community business and other groups. We are talking about it in the media, and asking others to continue bringing awareness that so many of us have experienced domestic violence, and what we can all do to stop the silence and end the stigma around this conversation.
It's important to know that domestic violence effects us all - no matter our socioeconomic status. 1 in every 4 women and 1 in every 7 men have reported to have experienced some type of domestic violence in their lifetime. Sadly, 44% of all domestic violence goes unreported. We need to be the generation to shift the paradigm on this conversation!
