Healing From Sexual Abuse Featuring our Guest Panel

Keli Denise is a writer, blogger, editor, radio host, daughter, sister, auntie, educator, inspiration, lover and

healer. She began writing poetry at the age of six and after being told one of her gifts is to write, she took writing seriously. As a result, writing has become a way of therapy for her. She says, “For me, writing is my way of healing. My hope is that through my writing, I will be able to reach others so they too can heal holistically.” She also says, “I’m not a ‘healer’ in the traditional since of healing. Through my writing I tell my story and inspire and empower others to do the same. So, in essence, I am a tool used to aid another in them healing and connecting to their Divine Self”.
She graduated from Webster University with a Bachelors Degree in Media Communications in December 2005. She will pursue her Bachelors and Masters of Arts degrees in Nutrition & Natural Health in the fall of 2013 from the College of Natural Health.
