Roweena Davis is a 20 year retired Army Veteran. She served as a victim advocate

during her time in the Army Reserve and as a civilian, she is a senior HR Specialist for

an Army Reserve Command. She is a part of Alpha Gamma Xi Military Sorority where

she served as the program director for SWANS (Supporting Women and Nurturing

Survivors).a resource that used to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual

assault.

In July of 2020, she decided enough was enough with the "quiet" issues in the military with domestic violence and sexual assault; so she founded WE BELIEVE YOU SOS(Supporting our Survivors) to provide resources and awareness to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Since its inception, her and her team were able to host a virtual 5K for military survivors of sexual assault that raised more than $10,000 for Protect our Defenders. They have also had the opportunity to serve as hosts of their first annual Healing Conference for Women as well as a panel discussion on helping men overcome trauma. She has been featured with several other organizations on Clubhouse to be able to continue to raise awareness to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault amongst military members, veterans, and military spouses. She also served as a guest panelist with PAVE (Promoting Awareness/Victim Empowerment) on their BIPOC episode of how sexual assault and domestic violence affects Black Indigenous People of Color.

She is also a published author and assisted in giving her story of survival in Sisters in Arms: The Black Diamond Experience: Our Rise to Significance. In her chapter entitled “Good Enough,” she discusses her struggles of not feeling good enough which eventually led to many of her destructive relationships. She talks about her abusive marriage (both physically and mentally) and how she was able to finally leave everything behind and start new.

Roweena frequently shares her story and trauma as she knows that not only will it helps other survivors in her shoes, but it has helped her with her healing journey.
