Parents Against Bullying of Virginia

Shant'a "Shawnie" Miller-Synaker is the founder and CEO of Parents Against Bullying of Virginia. Parent's Against Bullying of Virginia or PABVA was created as a positive response to a tragic bullying incident that involved her then 11 year old twin girls. They were bullied by an older peer on that road their school bus. This was Shawnie's and her family's 1st encounter with the horrible problem that plagued so many of our children on a daily basis. Her daughter's physical attack caused a controlled medical issue to reoccur. The attack ultimately affected her health, self-esteem, and academics.

This motivated Shawnie to bring awareness to families that BULLYING is real and it can happen to anyone.
