About Created4Passion
About the Founder (est. 2006)
Kelley Shumate is an overcomer fo eight consecutive years of working in the sex industry, abortions, alcohol, sex addictions, domestic violence, rape, child/sibling abuse, death (that is similar to that of a child dying), spiritual abuse, homelessness, jobless, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Kelley is a strong advocate for women making sure they have mentoring, accountability, confidentiality, safe and healthy relationships. In her experience, the church and missions were unequipped and some weere unwilling to address her needs as a woman leaving the sex industry and recovering from abortions, drug, alcohol, sex addictions, domestic violence, rape, child/sibling abuse, death (that is similar to that of a child dying), homelessness, jobless and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Kelley learned first hand on her owrn when she finally chose to escape the sex industry and re-dedicate her life to Jesus Christ what no support system, a lack of mentoring and encouragement does; so she is a strong advocate for those necessary things to be in place.
What is was like being homeless
The first time, 1980, I was homeless was as a child. I lived on the streets before I became a stripper in 1984. Then I lost everything when the church folks misguided me and my life 1995-2017. I was trying to be obedient to the elders and believed religious lies. I was told exercise is a sin - in 2018 I broke away and began a long lonely rode to recover and restoration with PTSD holding me down and holding me back.
What it is like to survive and thrive ...
Kelley's story is like the feathers of a peacock ... at times revealed for all its beauty and at times tucked away and hidden.
Read about how Kelley went from living of life of abuse, to now having truth and freedom to live her life in beauty and helping others in living their lives too.
