Child sexual abuse survivor and writer | Kelly Wallace - S.O.S. Podcast #57

Ever wonder what it's like to be sexually abused at the hands of a family member and NOT be believed?

Well, that's what happened to my next guest on the S.O.S. podcast. Hear what happened when Kelly Wallace bravely shared her story in open court but was not vindicated due to her Grandfather's community ties and public reputation. She now is writing her memoir after years of processing this trauma, dedicated to helping others heal.

Her writing style has roots in writing about key moments and peels back the layers of human nature. She studied with the Pinewood Table writers' group led by award-winning authors Stevan Allred and Joanna Rose.

Kelly’s writing honors include publications in The Manifest-Station, On Loan From the Cosmos, VoiceCatcher, and Perceptions magazines, additionally fellowships at the Summer Fishtrap Gathering and the Attic Institute, and residencies at Hypatia-in-the-Woods.

She is a graduate of Wells College in Aurora, New York, and is a frequent podcast guest speaking about her experience as a child sexual abuse survivor.
