Darlene Campagna was a college student enjoying a night out on the town with friends when her group inadvertently ran into an angry crowd infuriated after being locked out of a concert. 

For 15 minutes that felt like forever, the crowd took its frustration out on Darlene and her friends, terrorizing them before they were able to escape.

It’s been decades, but Darlene still remembers how her life changed in an instant. Her story is about triumphing over trauma to tap inner strength, achieve life goals, and help other women to do the same.
