Dejion Aquilla, an Old Dominion University alumna, has used ​her education to help survivors of trauma regain their ​empowerment. For nearly ten years she worked as an ​advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic ​violence before starting her own company. During that time, ​she assisted with changing practices at her local domestic ​violence shelter and opening a family justice center. She has ​spoken publicly about the topic of abuse; however, she has a ​passion for encouraging those around her to fortify their ​boundaries. Dejion aspires to encourage people to work ​through past traumas and work towards peace by being their ​authentic selves. She currently lives with her husband and ​family in Virginia.
