I’m on a journey to promote healing and recovery through Self-Discovery and Speaking our truth.

Dr. Larissa H. Rhone is a mother, an award-winning motivational speaker, facilitator, an Honorary Humanitarian Doctoral Degree recipient, author, and Founder/CEO of Journey 2 Free Inc.

Larissa is a sexual assault crisis counselor who advocates through mentoring and motivating survivors of child sexual abuse worldwide to shed the veil of secrecy and reassign the shame of abuse through sharing their lived experiences and journeying to their mental freedom. Larissa helps others develop emotional intelligence, conflict management skills, and self-awareness to be transformed and restored to a place of wholeness to unlock and fulfill their God-given potential and purpose.

This passion for helping survivors has blossomed into a blog; a YouTube Series called Masked, adult and youth coloring and activities books, guided journals for trauma survivors, picture books about sexual abuse awareness and prevention that speaks about body safety and ownership, as well as a support group that connects survivors of sexual violence “feel heard and seen.” She also owns a publishing agency, https://www.journeypublishers.com

Larissa has been instrumental in several program launches. She has facilitated several workshops and seminars that advocate for change and encourage survivors to “Reassign The Shame and Speak,” moving beyond the point of surviving to thrive.  She shares her experience of being a third-generation child rape survivor and a warrior of the crippling disease Sickle Cell Anemia in keynotes on resilience, self-management, mindset shifts, reclaiming your and power, and healing forward.
