Today we are honored to be joined by Ali Davis, a cult and childhood torture survivor. Ali grew up under Bill Gothard's teachings (otherwise known as the fundamentalist Christian cult portrayed in ‘Shiny Happy People’). Due in large part to Ali’s childhood experiences, she is now in her early 30s and childfree by choice. Ali is passionate about raising awareness of non-war related childhood torture and is the founder and Executive Director of the pretti graffiti foundation — the first and only nonprofit in the US dedicated to securing humanitarian aid for other survivors. <br /><br />Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prettigraffitifoundation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pretti graffiti foundation </a>on Instagram.<br />Visit the <a href="https://www.prettigraffiti.org/home" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pretti graffiti foundation</a> website to <a href="https://www.prettigraffiti.org/about/about-childhood-torture" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">learn more</a> or <a href="https://givebutter.com/IuAjxt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">donate</a>. <br /><br />To shop Erika’s mentioned lip stain, visit <a href="https://wonderskin.com/collections/wonderblading/products/wonder-blading-lip-stain-masque" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wonderskin</a>.
