John A. King

A sexual abuse and trafficking survivor, Dr. John A. King is a author, poet, long-time activist and founder of the Give Them a Voice Foundation in Grapevine, Texas, which he launched in 2015 to provide advocacy, support, resources and rescue for those who have been sexually abused or trafficked. In 2008, in the midst of a successful career in corporate coaching, leadership training and speaking all over the world, King experienced a complete recall of suppressed memories from more than a decade of sexual abuse and exploitation by his parents and their friends. Determined not to be seen as simply a victim, he put himself through re-learning the leadership principles he had taught to others for years. A dynamic speaker, King uses his personal experience to connect with the many people who have suffered abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and exploitation recovery.
