Elissa Wall is a mother, author, survivor, and advocate whose incredible work has appeared on everything from Oprah to Netflix. After freeing herself from an early life in the Fundamentalist Church, Elissa reinvented herself and her career several times. Yet at the heart of all her work is her incredible storytelling abilities. Most recently, she appeared in the documentary, Keep Sweet: Pray & Obey, in which she shared a bit of her journey and healing. The production made it clear that Elissa’s wisdom and poise are unrivaled, and that there was so much more to her story than four poignant episodes could illustrate. We are so grateful Elissa was willing to share the rest of what came next for her with us.

Chesler] This Shit Doesn’t End (released 3/3/23) highlights the continued abuse and terror she faced at the hands of her imprisoned brother; in this episode she explains how she was finally freed from the criminal justice systems (in just the last few weeks) since this podcast’s launch.
