    Chris Davis - Worthy: The Memoir Of An Ex-Mormon Lesbian

    Chris Davis, author of Worthy: The Memoir of an Ex-Mormon Lesbian, shares her experiences of abuse and continued trauma as a member of the Mormon church. She was a lifelong devout Mormon, who checked all the expected boxes: wife, mother, teacher, leader, follower, and believer until 2020 when she left her family and her church to fulfill her personal destiny as a gay woman and independent thinker. She remains close with her two adult children, one of whom is a believing member of the church, and the other who is a transgender man who has also left the church. She now lives quite happily in her home state of Maine and looks forward to a long and joyful life as her authentic self. She can be found online at www.chrisdavisproud.com (http://www.chrisdavisproud.com/), on most social media at @ChrisDavisProud, and on Facebook at @ChrisDavisPr0ud. The blog post titled "The Day I Stopped Believing" can be found at this link. (https://chrisdavisproud.com/blog/f/the-day-i-stopped-believing)

His most recent film, Healing US, is set to release this week. Kenny shares his story about how he came to consciously identify what happened to him as a child, was rape. While listening to the Latter Day Survivors podcast, he recognized the significance of what happened to him, how it informed many of his life choices, and is learning how to manage the PTSD symptoms that followed when acknowledging and processing the trauma.

    After Taylor Sundberg (30) was sexually assaulted as a teen, she turned to her bishop for help. Instead of finding help or resources, she faced church discipline and was blackmailed into silence. She shares her journey from the assault, the aftermath, and the realization she’d been blackmailed, to the unraveling of a toxic and dangerous belief system. This is far too common.
