<p>When I put out a call this past December for World Pulse sisters interested in speaking out on one day of the 15 days against violence against women, Andrace was fast to respond, along with 20 other World Pulse sisters. On the day that had been given to us to speak out together, hosted by <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Hope4HerGlobal/\">https://www.facebook.com/Hope4HerGlobal/</a>, Andrace was the first to speak, and her powerful voice electrified all who had the good fortune to be listening. On World Pulse her stories make no apologies, setting the issues on the table, challenging all forms of violence against women and children, using her voice to broadcast through media, bringing her experience and vast educational skills to show what is possible and make change happen. Her speech last December broke open the sound barriers and lit up the room. For all she does with her time, effort and strong and courageous voice, I am happy to be able to nominate Andrace for a World Pulse Spirit Award.</p>
