I volunteered as a virtual mentor/tutor for elementary/middle school students. This program is instrumental in working with students needing just a little more attention and guidance on homework assignments as well as additional practice with their classroom curriculum. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with the students. Their appreciate and smiling faces brightened my day.

Just Speak is an excellent organization with a powerful and much needed mission! Empowering youth to use their voice has done wonders for many of the children who have come in direct and indirect contact with the Just Speak founders and members.
I had the opportunity to assist the CEO in her mentoring project. The dedication she demonstrated in working out family issues, driving far distances, taking the mentee to places they'd never been, and using her available resources to solve pre-existing issues was remarkable. Each time I watch her interact with someone who has experience abuse or neglect, she is listening actively and intently. Her creativity, energy and dedication demonstrate the unparalleled commitment she has in changing societal views on addressing abuse.
I met Barbara on our college alum site and became instantly attracted to the 5k she supported. On the day of the event, we met for the first time, she introduced me to Brittni, and she proceeded to tell me of Just Speak. I became more and more interested in the mission of the organization. Subsequent conversations with Brittni and Barbara led me to further understand and embrace the goal of Just Speak.
Barbara and Brittni are both true testaments of survivors. Their persistence, energy, and diligence are hallmarks to the cause of Just Speak. Brittni's courage translates into a passion of increasing intolerance of child sexual abuse -- the platform of Just Speak.
Just Speak, Inc founded by Ms. Brittni Kellom provides extraordinary information and help for those in need! No one could tell the story and help to uplift, encourage and support victims of child sexual abuse like Ms. Kellom. Her story must be heard. Her message and her courage awesome! I applaud Brittni and Barbara Kellom along with all of the volunteers and advisors that work together to help this message of victory and survival reach those in need!
I met Barbara Kellom in 2009 and were impressed with her passion and love for the organization.
I did not know anything about sexual abuse in children until I met Barbara, telling her part of the story, gave me an insight, then I met Brittini the wonderful young woman behind the reason for the organization and was impressed with her tenacity and courage.
My story is not one of abuse, but from Barbara & Brittini sharing with me their story has given me a story to tell about two of the most beautiful people that God has put on this earth, through all of the abuse that they had to endure.
Just Speak, Inc. is an organization that you can help through volunteering, supporting, and donating monetarily.

"Just Speak" has provided a very much needed vehicle for those who are the victims or relatives of the victims of abuse. It gives individuals an opportunity to get support as well as information. I thank the founders for the efforts to bring the effects of abuse to light. Thank you.
I am an emergency physician for the past 30 years and I have been a board member on multiple volunteer boards, nationwide, that help victims of violence, both children, women and families. As a result, I have been very involved with Brittni Kellom and the fantastic dedication and work she has been doing to help children speak up against abuse. Her personal story is what makes this organization so successful, because Brittni has a passion to help those who can't help themselves.
Over the years Just Speak has grown in numbers of participants. Britti Kellom, Founder and Barbara Kellom, COO have been shining examples of what commitment means. The 5k walk was a great event, it rained that cold day in April, but Brittni fresh from a hospital visit came and waited in the rain.. Arm in a sling and tried from a long night in the emergency room she stayed and prevailed. Her mom did the same thing and she recently had major surgery. With the strength and integrity of two very capable women this organization is headed for the top.
Just Speak Incorporated has been a supporter of our organization, Childhelp for many years. They have raised funds for children in foster care that resulted in coats being purchases. They work with various communities to bring awareness about child abuse, neglect and domestic violence. They truely have a passion to share their experiences in hopes of helping others. We are blessed to have them in our community, working to make this a better place for children and families.
