She is a member of SOAR (Sisters Overcoming Abusive Relationships)She worked to help pass North Carolina House Bill 1464 clarifying Domestic Violence Protective Orders.
The Bill was passed July 31, 2009 and named "Candice Law."As an organization that is determined to make a change with domestic violence, so we agreed that if we would just have a conversation with each other, we can help each other to work toward healing.
Vernetta's career history includes fourteen years of law enforcement experience.
Her Mission: We believe that all people have the right to live without violence or the fear of violence. To preserve that right, her mission is to provide immediate/direct safety and shelter for individuals whose lives have been affected by domestic violence and sexual assault; to as well empower victims to become survivors, while regaining control of their lives, and realizing their individual potential which violence and abuse has threatened to destroy.
