Summary

When she was 14 years old, Shannon Martinez was raped at a party by two men who took advantage of the fact that she was intoxicated.

Overwhelmed with self-hate and anger, her life spiraled downwards – and she joined a violent right-wing extremist organization, where she would channel her rage and emotions against anyone who was “different”.

Luckily, after several years in this supremacist organization, she was saved by a family who took her in and helped her to deal with her trauma – and showed her that there is a perspective for her beyond violence.

Now a mother of seven children, she is passionate about building empowered families and communities and believes that we all have the power to enact profound and fundamental change in our lives.
