Dr. Shawna Turner resides in north Texas where she owns and operates a successful chiropractic business. Animals are her primary focus and passion.

Growing up in a ranching family, Shawna fell in love with horses at a young age. Their majestic presence enamored Shawna. She felt a deep, safe connection when she was around horses. She discovered their innate ability to bring peace and healing.

After being sworn to silence by her child molester at the ages of 4-6, survival became her way of life. Later when the love of her life sustained a traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle accident, her resilience would once again be put to the test.

It was her faith in God and love for animals that carried Shawna through trauma and tragedy. She is not just a survivor, she is a thriver.

My name is Misti Harrelson, I have been an advocate for victims of crime for over 15 years. As a survivor of violent crime, I successfully escaped a10 year abusive relationship that left me blind in my right eye, a broken back, fractured faceplate; and many other mental and emotional unfortunate daily reminders of the abuse I endured. My personal trauma and pain transformed into a passion for instilling hope and providing support to others who want a life free from violence. After escaping my abusive relationship, I embarked on a healing journey towards self-reliance, liberation, and restoration of hope. My path began with rigorous individual and group therapy sessions while discovering who I really am. I was determined to complete my education earning my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with honors from Cal State East Bay in 2.5 years. I am currently completing a Master’s degree in Public Administration, and I am excited to share that I am due to graduate with honors in May of 2025.

I define myself first as a mom, and then a public speaker, educator, life coach, author, healer, protector and Warrior.

I am active in local communities, State and National agencies by providing education, outreach, public speaking and training on issues surrounding crime and violence. I present to large audiences of law enforcement, judiciary, government and legal agencies, churches, survivors, perpetrators of violence and various other community-based organizations about my personal experience and how others can safely support survivors and perpetrators of violence through their healing journey. I currently partner with National and State agencies to champion for public safety by working with legislation and policy, also providing victim-based assistance and resources with ICAN and CVAA. As well as I am the co-chair for the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Committee with California District Attorney Association for Restorative Justice. I am the Executive Director of Ever After Foundation, https://everafter.foundation/ where we help establish survivors in the entrepreneurs and business industry. Lastly, within my own non-profit, I work both with victims and perpetrators to end societal violence and restore hope, while Healing Hurt Humans. https://healinghurthumans.com/ . Together we have partnered to form a powerful alliance to make generational changes with our clients.

Lisbet Perez turns her personal experience with domestic violence into a powerful force for change, empowering fellow survivors and advocating for immigrant women and families.
