Please join us in thanking Ms. Brown for all of her hard work! 💜

#WomensHistoryMonth

[Newport News Police Department @NewportNewsPD]

Even more, Transitions Family Violence Services named their shelter after her: "Darryle's Heart" 💜

As Ms. Brown says, "I know I am just one voice, there are other voices, that have yet to be heard, together we can be the change in our community that we want to see."

[Newport News Police Department @NewportNewsPD]

Ms. Brown is a source of hope for people who feel like they've lost everything and she is an advocate in every way possible. In 2018, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Hampton Roads area for her outstanding work providing survivors with safe housing options.
