Don’t Tell us Marching Doesn’t Matter.
Christine “Cissy” White is a joy-stalker truth-teller who knows it’s possible to live, love and parent well after being raised in hell. Possible but not easy. Her survivor-led activism has been featured on PBS News Hour and in The Atlantic. She’s been widely published in places such as The Boston Globe, Ms. Magazine online, Spirituality & Health, The Mighty, The Patient Empowerment Network, & To Write Love on Her Arms. She speaks about developmental trauma, expressive writing, and the lifelong impact of adverse childhood experiences. She is also a patient advocate and part of the Survivors Teaching Students program via the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance. Her motto is “It’s not trauma informed if it’s not informed by trauma survivors.” Find her on Heal Write Now on Facebook: Facebook page Twitter: @healWRITEnow
