365 Conversation: Creating Public Awareness to End Domestic Violence with DREA Kelly
October 24, 2019, 7:30PM, Baker Ballroom
[Drea Kelly headhsot]
DREA Kelly's 365 Conversation offers the course of a survivor's journey to heal while highlighting learned behaviors from her abuser and herself, the warning signs and of the prevalence of a volatile relationship. The goal of the 365 Conversation on domestic violence is to start the conversation, not just through a hashtag on social media, but through a plan of action to eliminate abuse of all forms and violence from relationships and to eradicate sex trafficking. DREA Kelly's healing words offers openness to receive and self-reflection.
Andrea "DREA" Kelly is a Midwestern native from the Southside of Chicago, IL. DREA Kelly's fame is largely attributed to VH1's "Hollywood Exes," where she was branded "the breakout star."  Her story, as the Ex-wife of R&B superstar R. Kelly, reached beyond the television screens, leaving an audience of millions in love with the "brown ballerina."
She is also well-known for being a choreographer, principle dancer, and the creative director for R.Kelly's world tour performances, music videos and award show performances.  Some of her clients include Teddy Riley, Escape and Been One to name a few.  After leading the stage in these various positions, DREA also found vast success in operating her own dance theatre companies, AKDT and Le Belle Jete' Cabaret.
DREA is not only a survivor of Domestic Violence, she is an advocate of domestic violence awareness. In the spirit of this mission, she created the 12th Round Foundation, an organization that celebrates survivors of domestic violence and seeks to provide education so no one will become a victim and commemorate those who are lost to this tragedy.
"I have CRACKS, but I'm not BROKEN "- DREA Kelly
This Domestic Violence Awareness Keynote is sponsored by the Women's Center, Black Student Cultural Programming Board, the Multicultural Center, Survivor Advocacy Program, Counseling and Psychological Services, Health Promotion, the Student National Medical Association, and Ebony Minds.
