In 1994, Kemba Smith Pradia vowed that if she ever got out of her 24-year prison sentence for a nonviolent drug offense, she would use her experiences to help others avoid the same mistakes.
Today, Pradia, a domestic abuse awareness advocate, is fulfilling her promise, encouraging young people across the nation to avoid abusive relationships and situations. She shared her message at Penn State Harrisburg during an Oct. 13 presentation.
