Emily Joy Allison is an author, poet, and yoga teacher. In November of 2017, as the #MeToo hashtag was going viral, Emily came forward with her own story of abuse at the hands of her church and launched the #ChurchToo movement overnight. She has been writing and speaking about religious sexualized violence and its theological underpinnings ever since. Her work takes place where faith, sexuality, and healing collide. Her debut book about #ChurchToo will be published with Broadleaf Books in 2021. Emily lives in Nashville with her dog Harley and her partner Caitlin, and she works at a church in her spare time.
