Founded on November 17, 2014, Battered Not Broken is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to advocating for victims and survivors of domestic abuse. Created by Marica Phipps-Johnson,  a survivor and mother of three, the organization is a living testament to her journey from abuse to recovery. Initially conceived as a platform for support, empowerment, and education, Battered Not Broken has evolved to incorporate abuse prevention as an equally crucial aspect of its mission.

 
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
What began as Marica's vision to use her trauma for empowerment and growth soon identified a glaring need in the community—the critical necessity for abuse prevention. This realization led Battered Not Broken, Inc. to broaden its horizons by engaging in various outreach programs across different sectors. From school districts and universities to law enforcement agencies and faith-based organizations, the nonprofit ensures that its preventive and educational modules reach as many people as possible.
