Youth Program

Since the release of my book “The Queen’s Daughter” in 2004, I have regularly visited high schools, colleges and universities to speak to the students about sexual assault and my own personal experiences and challenges.

The book relates the true story of my kidnapping and gang rape at the innocent age of 19 and the aftermath of such a shocking ordeal. I purposely wrote the book as a quick read because of the subject matter.

Young adults and teenagers (age 15-25) are especially intrigued with the story. This is evident in the hundreds and hundreds of letters I receive from these students. They feel comfortable enough with me to ask the tough questions that they are too embarrassed to ask anyone else.

I have personally met with many young people desperate to relate to someone with experience and I plan to continue to be available as a mentor when needed.

I have made the commitment to devote full time to “The Cause” and the outcome has paid off- I have been instrumental in helping hundreds of youths transform their lives.

I speak of courage, tenacity and seeking the positive in every situation. My message is uplifting and inspirational. The most popular topics and questions pertain to trust, depression, forgiveness and the most popular, sex. Our youth is hungry for the truth and I tell it like it is.

My visits to the schools is voluntary and I do not expect compensation, however my books are available for sale. It is my experience that the students are anxious to buy the book but cannot afford to do so. I believe my book is of tremendous value and the feedback from those who have read it, confirms my commitment to continue to spread my message.

The Q.D. Youth Program is an opportunity for you, as a business owner and community activist, to sponsor a student,class or a school by purchasing “The Queen’s Daughter” as an educational donation.

Each book you purchase will be labeled with you and your company name and the school who receives the donations will be made well aware of their benefactor.

Students are encouraged to share the story and to discuss the subject matter with their friends and family. Each person who picks up the book will know that it was donated by you.

I guarantee that this gift will evoke the utmost gratitude in the students and educators alike.

“The Queen’s Daughter” retails for $20 and I am willing to negotiate a discount for volume purchases.

Please consider this public service request and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
