Donna Jenson began her healing journey from the trauma of childhood incest in 1980 in her early thirties. Along that journey, she has embraced many healing therapies and artistic expressions, as well as building a family of choice to make her life worth living. She came of age within the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s, when she helped build three grassroots women’s centers. Jenson is keenly aware of the healing aspect of activism – the empowerment of standing up for the social change of one’s own issue. By 1998, she understood that breaking the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse was key in eradicating the epidemic. Her mission is to do all she can to spark stories from lives affected by incest and sexual abuse. Along with leading writing circles for survivors, she created a book, Healing My Life from Incest to Joy, a play called What She Knows, and a documentary Telling Is Healing. She also coaches survivors to reach their goals and realize their visions.
