Lori Anne Thompson lived a life marked by adverse childhood experiences of physical, sexual, psychological, emotional abuse, parental separation, alcoholism, incarceration, domestic violence, and a devastating deprivation. Upon turning to the evangelical faith community for help and support, she was revictimized spiritually, financially, and sexually by clergy in adulthood.
She graduated as a mature student from Queens University, Canada, earning a Bachelor of Science Honours Kinesiology and Magna Cum Laude Master of Child Advocacy & Policy from Montclair State University as a distinguished member of Alpha Epsilon Lamba Society.
She is devoted to her family and to empowering her fellow survivors through selective speaking and writing. She also works as a Registered Kinesiologist in private practice and has the privilege to serve others in her role as an intake specialist for a survivor-centric law firm.
“You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day,
else you will always be only half brave.”– George MacDonald, “The Day Boy and the Night Girl“
