I’m honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, loving mother and devoted wife, artist, podcaster and host of her own podcast ‘Arise and Shine’, founder of SHOUT for Help non-profit, facilitator for Relentless Hope, singer and songwriter, writer and blogger, videographer, advocate for future overcomers, author, speaker, videographer, written and spoken word poet, and advocate for current and future overcomers: Sharri Burggraaf

Sharri’s life is a testament to the transformative power of faith, resilience, and purpose. Born on Friday the 13th, 1957, in Dubuque, Iowa, to a Catholic family, Sharri’s early years were marred by unimaginable trauma. Subjected to ritual abuse, mind control, child pornography, and sex trafficking, her childhood was stolen by multiple perpetrators, including her parents, a priest, a nun, and an elite network of businessmen. Under the guise of a "talented and gifted program," she was bussed from school to a free medical clinic where she endured torture-based mind control, electric shocks, medical experimentation, and psychological programming - deceptively framed as cancer research conducted by German scientists. Her father, a World War II veteran, was also ensnared in these sinister programs, and Sharri believes he was murdered to silence his attempts to escape, with threats used to keep her enslaved.

These experiences were designed to fracture and control, yet within her, a spark of resilience refused to be extinguished. Diagnosed in the early 1990s with Dissociative Identity Disorder she embarked on a courageous journey of recovery. Her path was not linear nor easy, but was a winding road marked by pauses to raise her children and moments of profound dedication to healing.

As a founding member of Dissociative Writers, and a facilitator for Relentless Hope, Sharri also runs support groups and writing workshops, including her upcoming Project J.U.S.T.I.C.E. training initiative for survivor-clinicians, law enforcement, and advocates. Her work with Relentless Hope aligns with her heart for survivors, emphasizing their value, collective power, and right to be believed. 

As a beacon of light for survivors, Sharri challenges the stigma and disbelief surrounding ritual abuse and mind control. She confronts the societal denial that often compounds survivors’ pain, advocating for awareness of human trafficking and the interconnectedness of ritual abuse and mind control with multigenerational abuse. Her mission is not to rescue single-handedly but to collaborate with others, amplifying voices and fostering hope for those still trapped in darkness.

Sharri stands as living proof that one can emerge from the depths of trauma to shine brightly, guiding others toward their own liberation. Her journey reminds us that even in the face of unimaginable evil, the human spirit can reclaim its power, rewrite its story, and inspire a world in need of hope. To every survivor, Sharri’s voice echoes: You are not alone. If I can escape, so can you.
