Ashley Nicole Davis is an author, public speaker, and facilitator. Currently, she is the Director of Partnerships at Darkness to Light, a global nonprofit that empowers adults to prevent child sexual abuse. After facing much backlash for disclosing her child sexual abuse experiences and naming her abuser, she realized there was an opportunity to help others navigate through disclosure and healing. Her story of resilience has opened opportunities for her to establish and maintain strong relationships with the faith community and non-profit organizations throughout the U.S. and South Africa. She is devoted to addressing individual and social factors that influence adults’ willingness/ability to take action to prevent child sexual abuse.
