Atlanta singer Bobby Brown has been committed to stopping domestic violence ever since his daughter lost her life in 2015 in a tragedy marred in controversy.
In the wake of her death, he began a domestic violence initiative that culminated this week with the not-for-profit Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House near Atlanta. The shelter will be a refuge for battered women and also offer a 24-hour crisis intervention line and an emergency transitional shelter.
Bobby Brown opens domestic violence shelter in Atlanta
Brown was honored Monday with three proclamations from officials in Atlanta, Fulton County and the City of South Fulton.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, was found dead in a bathtub three years after her mother, singer Whitney Houston, died the same way.
Brown was accompanied by his wife Alicia at the event.
Many have blamed Brown for his bad fortune but in a recent interview, he defended his reputation.
“I think the bad boy image came from me being on stage, not from me being a human being. If you see me in person, meet in person somewhere, you won’t call me a bad guy. You’d call me Bobby.”

Brian McGuire says he was thinking about the future when combined his passion for wine with a business that could grow over time. “I started my wine-tasting business as an ‘encore career,'” he told AtlantaFi via email.
He says he wanted to create a business venture “for after the corporate world. It was something I could build for me, not someone else.”
Wineshop at Home launches in Atlanta
That led to McGuire’s Wineshop At Home business, where he does informal in-home tastings with small groups. The vino industry is great, but McGuire says his entrepreneurial instincts — like a good bottle of wine — took some time to mature.
Soon, he got into the apparel business as well. “The T-shirt business really grew out of the wine-tasting business,” he says. “I wanted to wear funny wine shirts but didn’t find any I liked, so I designed my own.”
And that’s how Teetotly was born. The site has numerous T-shirts with humorous sayings that go quite nicely with a glass of wine!
“People always commented on my t-shirts at tastings wanted to know where they could buy one, so I finally decided to set up shop. I did some additional designs on my own and worked with a design team to add even more designs.”
McGuire says that he will continue to add to the collection — both the wine and the T-shirts.
You can find the goods at this websites: http://itsawinelife.com and https://teetotly.com.
