Alicia Stukes, CEO and Founder
Ms. Stukes is the CEO/Founder and visionary who birthed I’m Bruised But Not Broken, Inc. (IBBNB) as a result of being a victim of domestic violence. Because of the lack of resources and direct services available for victims of domestic violence, Ms. Stukes envisioned IBBNB as being a conduit between the victim and other community resources such as law enforcement, legislators, counselors, advocates, etc. It is because of Ms. Stukes' passion and commitment to the advocacy of domestic violence that IBBNB has been able to partner with such organizations such as Community Advocates for Family and Youth, City of Bowie Community Committee, Walmart, Creme of Nature, Safeway, Giant and a host of other organizations. Ms. Stukes is the mother of three adult children Patrick, Brian, and Kayla. She is also a local small business owner, an alum of the University of Maryland Global Campus, and a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
