Music Mama and Survivor

Lisa Cirone

My business is Music Mama, I book & promote bands for local establishments, private parties and fundraising events. I also host music & arts festivals. I'm a domestic violence abuse survivor and I was sexually assaulted in August 2020. I now volunteer for Victims Services of Montgomery County, PA. I was also part of the VSC 2023 Annual Appeal and a member of the VSC Planning Committee.  I will continue to tell my story and what VSC has done for me as a way to help other victims and hopefully give them the courage to speak up and heal.
