Donna Davis, a former police officer turned author, embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and advocacy, driven by her love for writing and her unwavering dedication to her children. Inspired by the transformative power of personal narratives, Donna found her voice after encountering "This is Not How it Ends" by Jehan Casinader in October of 2020. This encounter served as a catalyst for her to recognize the agency she holds in reshaping her own story and empowering others to do the same.
In her forthcoming book, Donna courageously delves into the complexities of mental health, trauma, and resilience. With a deep inner-standing of the intricate workings of the mind, she challenges the stigma surrounding conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD, emphasizing the importance of empathy and support in navigating these challenges.
Drawing from her experiences as both a police officer and a parent, Donna advocates for open dialogue and education around trauma, aiming to spark meaningful conversations within communities. Through her platform, Kia Maia, Donna envisions a future where frontline workers, their loved ones, and organizations are equipped with the knowledge and resources to address vicarious trauma and promote healing.
Moreover, Kia Maia stands as a beacon of hope, offering support and education on essential topics such as boundaries, resilience, consent, and changing the narrative surrounding sexual assault. Donna's vision for Kia Maia is rooted in the belief that by fostering courage, capability, and strength-embodied in the concept of "Kia Maia"-real change can be ignited, transforming lives and communities for the better.
