to reclaim and celebrate personal journeys
A Unique Voice for Empowerment
Living Expressions brings together a unique voice to empower each other and learn from one another through our own lived experiences. Sharing our journeys safely on this platform and at our global events will allow each participant to grow, overcome, stand together, and be inspired. By expressing ourselves freely in our own voice – whether through spoken or written words, art, photography, or film – we create, as Living Voices, a catalyst for change.

Choose your living expression:
I created my short film to reach the millions of women who, like me, have grabbled with child sexual abuse, homelessness, domestic violence, and suicidal thoughts. For those silenced by their pain, my books and film offer a lifeline of hope and courage. Moreover, the film serves as a catalyst for societal dialogue and change. It is a testament to the power of storytelling.
