Shelly is a cult survivor using her voice through the power of storytelling in order to elicit change. A victim of childhood sexual abuse, she reached out to church leaders as a teenager, only to be “handled” in a culture of shame and misogyny. As a collaborator with the #igotout movement, she advocates for survivors of spiritual, sexual, and institutional abuse and is writing a memoir and screenplay about her experiences. Shelly is also author of the Tracing Time Trilogy–a story about women who find their way in the world while seeking to save themselves and those they love.
