About The Organization
Ennufff
Karen and Damali started Ennufff just over two years ago. Ennufff is a monthly Internet radio show hosted on Blog Talk Radio. To date, the show has garnered over 14,000 listeners. They also have loyal readers, followers and friends, who frequently visit the program’s blogs, Facebook, and Twitter pages. Ennufff (a patois version of the English word “enough”) was birthed from Karen and Damali’s personal experiences with sexual violence in Jamaica. Through these traumatic events, they started the process and journey to healing. Ennufff is part of this on-going journey. Raising awareness about sexual violence, and the impact on its victims/survivors, in Jamaica, throughout the Caribbean and the Diaspora, has become their mandate. Ennufff is a social media platform that gives a voice to this mandate. Karen and Damali want the world to know that they’ve had ennufff (enough) of violence against women and children. Therefore, Ennufff is platform to educate, empower, and heal.
