~Meet Stephanie L. Jones~
Author & Speaker
Child Sexual Abuse & Child Advocacy Expert
Sexual Abuse Prevention Advocate
"I know what it feels like to suffer in silence. I want to help the brokenhearted and those broken in spirit, not just the victims, but the offender and the entire family. Everyone is affected when a child is molested by another family member." Stephanie L. Jones
An entrepreneurial spirit and passion to serve others has
guided Stephanie L. Jones through an extensive background in sales, public
relations, and community service.
A native of
Detroit, Michigan, Jones began her
corporate career at Charter One Bank, where she played an instrumental role in
leading her team to become the district’s number one office. Her flair for
building relationships and savvy in customer service grew even more when
she later accepted employment with SBC (currently AT&T). As a service representative and team leader she trained and coached hundreds of employees.
In 2005, after a severe illness, Jones opted out of the
corporate business world. She decided to
pursue her entrepreneurial goals as a freelance
publicist. She successfully designed and
coordinated marketing campaigns for organizations, several best-selling book
authors, and for a nationally distributed women’s magazine.
Although highly successful in her endeavors, Jones soon
took another bold step, this time to fulfill her destiny. She became an advocate for individuals
suffering from the effects of child sexual abuse. Jones, author of The Enemy Between My Legs, unashamedly shares her story with
audiences around the world about how she was able to overcome the effects of
over seven years of child sexual abuse, which began at age five. She is known for her honest approach in
dealing with sexual abuse, a subject that few people will openly discuss. She has the ability to understand and connect
with abuse victims, especially teenagers and young adults. This has made her a highly sought-after
speaker for schools, churches, and major organizations.
Among several other honors, Jones has received the Kiwanis
International Lee Harden Take Time to Care Award for her community service
work. She’s a volunteer student mentor
and works with several organizations that focus on youth and community
development.
Jones lives in metro
Detroit with her husband Robert.
