Wendy M. Johnson

President & Founder

Wendy M. Johnson is the President and Founder of Sacred Innocence. She is a wife and the mother of five children. Wendy currently attends the Harvard Extension School receiving a masters in International Relations. She is the author of the 14-session empowerment program for victims of sexual abuse and shares her own experience with sexual abuse. 

"I founded Sacred Innocence, Inc. because of my own experience with Family Sexual Abuse. I experienced neglect, physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse by my father. My mother never tried to rescue me from all the abuses and was an enabling part of the abuse by letting it happen. Upon trying to talk about being abused with my parents, as an adult, I was told to stop talking about it and never bring it up again or they would disown me. I choose to speak up knowing they would never talk to me again, which is true to this day. 

After getting married I promised my husband and my children, yet to be born, that they would never experience the neglect, physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse that I did. Through getting educated on how to have healthy family relationships, and learning I was not alone, I was able to learn the skills needed to protect my children. I was able to tap into a power within myself that I could have never experienced. After many years of hard work and dedication to my purpose within my family, I was blessed to feel whole, complete, and strong enough to forgive my father and mother."
