After surviving a kidnapping and violent sexual assault, academic and entrepreneur Jenni Reavis packed one suitcase and left everything behind to embark on a 3-year radical journey of backpacking. Her background includes a long history of connecting with other cultures, learning languages, and working as a volunteer/translator in her hometown of Oklahoma City. Her own story of recovery, background in psychology, and graduate degree in human relations were the inspiration for the first book in the Unhidden Heroines series, her memoir, "The Other Side of Fear: A Backpacker's Memoir," which is available in 6 languages on Amazon. She is currently living the life of her happiest dreams, and her purpose going forward is to connect with others on a global level, engaging in topics about conquering fears and documenting stories about recovery and resilience wherever she travels abroad.
