At a speaking event, I screen a 27 minute version of Saving Jackie and share my testimonial after the film. Then I welcome questions and comments to create an honest dialogue between me and the audience. This engenders a very safe environment for participants to share their stories as well. I believe that this format sends a powerful and impacting message to any audience.

 

Keynote Speaker Selena Burks with NCORTC Coordinator Mark McMillian, and Master of Ceremonies, Fox 8 Morning News Anchor Wayne Dawson of Cleveland, at the 2005 Symposium of the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program

“Selena Burks’ presentation and video ‘Saving Jackie’ takes you through a gamut of emotions leaving you inspired and empowered to conquer life’s challenges.”

 “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”

-         Sherri Waggoner, Case Worker, Mercy Manor, Dayton , OH

 “S.A. Burks’ engaging and warm personality, and her ability to articulate her painful childhood, connects her to her audience. People who hear her speak are amazed with her strength and ability to survive the unthinkable. Her film reveals an intimate portrait of her sister and her mother and gives the viewer a window into a world that we never hear about.”
