I Am Worthy

  I Am Worthy is intended to be a traveling show, bringing awareness to all types and manners of abuse including physical, verbal, sexual, and emotional. With the introduction of the show in July of 2011, Dreisbach abandoned the "victim" archetype, lovingly sending it back to the Universe and reclaiming her personal power. "It's a choice to find our joy."
