Speaking Out About Rape
As Director of SOAR, Kellie has had the opportunity
to talk about her rape, but more importantly, about
her survival. She has made an impact on hundreds
of thousands of university students, law enforcement
officers and rape survivors. She has become a victims'
rights activist, working tirelessly to influence
policy and raise social awareness concerning issues
of sexual violence.
Kellie has appeared on numerous television shows
and news programs, including Today, The View, Oprah,
20/20, and 60 Minutes. Her policy work includes
co-authoring the Florida Sexual Predator Prosecution
Act of 2000, contributing to the development of
a national protocol on sexual assault forensic
exams for the Office on Violence Against Women,
and participating in a White House Press Conference
announcing the President's DNA Initiative. Kellie
joined actor Noah Wyle as a national spokesperson
for the Pfizer/YWCA Moving Past Trauma PTSD Community
Outreach Program in 2001 to 2003.
In addition to Kellie’s work with An Infinite Mind,
she is an advisory board member of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), an advisory
council member of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), and a
member of the board of directors of the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence
(FCASV).
