About
Donna Jenson came of age within the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s, helping to build three grassroots women’s centers. She is keenly aware of the healing aspect of activism – the empowerment of standing up for the social change of one’s own issue. By the 1990s, she understood that breaking the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse was key in irradicating the epidemic. Her mission is to do all she can to spark stories from lives affected by incest and sexual abuse to be told and heard. Along with leading writing circles for survivors, she wrote a book, Healing My Life from Incest to Joy, a play, What She Knows, and produced a documentary Telling Is Healing. She also coaches survivors to reach their goals and realize their visions.
