Overview:
Victoria B Thompson is an Air Force Vet, Founder of the non-profit We Steel Rise, self proclaimed spokesperson of law of attraction, and future author. Victoria has over ten years of experience in law enforcement holding various positions. She has hands-on experience working with women who were incarcerated, learning many of them had served in the military. This experience taught her invaluable lessons of the challenges women veterans face.
Throughout all of her experience, Victoria has realized that a higher rate of women veterans who were incarcerated face homelessness in comparison to men. In 2018, Victoria decided to pursue her passion and begin a re-entry program for veteran women called We Steel Rise. Tune in to this episode of Military Women and So Much more to learn more about Victoria’s journey from being a woman in the military to helping other women safely transition out.
