Leann, CEO &Founder
Hello, I’m Leann, Founder of Believe in Beyond CIC. I’m passionate about supporting women to find their voice following sexual trauma. As someone who has lived in the body of a survivor for most of my life, I understand how hard the daily fight can become. The impacts of abuse run deep and can last a lifetime—surviving can be truly debilitating at times. Having the right support networks around you can be life-changing. This is why I wanted “Believe” to be created.
“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of a crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.”
