JUNE 15, 2023
 Evansville, IN – Right to Life of Southwest Indiana will host its annual Life Lunch & Learn on Thursday, June 22, 2023, at Central Library in downtown Evansville. Guest speaker Dr. Ebone Barnes will deliver a talk titled “A Silent Crisis: Lived Experiences of Post-Abortive Women in the African-American Church.â€
Passionate, transformational, motivational speaker and consultant, Dr. Eboné M. Barnes works with individuals and organizations to escalate effective, confident communication and give voice to the voiceless. She leads with love, transparency, and truth.
Dr. Barnes received a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership and Development from Cornerstone University, a Master of Science in Communications from Grand Valley State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Aquinas College. With nearly thirty years of work in the education industry, she is committed to being a lifetime learner and facilitating learning for others. Dr. Barnes is fearlessly vulnerable in communicating and sharing her personal abortion story in hopes that it helps others choose life, choose to heal, and obliterate the strangling grasp of an abortion secret.
Dr. Barnes is a mother to five adult children and a proud grandparent to 4 beautiful grandchildren. Her love for life and being a voice to the voiceless fuels her passion for helping women navigate life choices when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Dr. Barnes’ dissertation “A Silent Crisis: Lived Experiences of Post-Abortive Women in the African-American Church” sought to understand the lived experiences of Christian, African American women who are post-abortive to illustrate the need for unplanned pregnancy and post-abortion ministries within the African American church.
Each year, the Life Lunch and Learn raise awareness about a specific topic within the pro-life movement. The event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be served. Dr. Barnes will speak in the Browning Room of the library.
