Transforming Tragedy into Triumph.

Erin Merryn is an internationally recognized author, speaker, and child abuse advocate and activist. She earned her MSW from Aurora University. For six years of her childhood she was sexually abused keeping her secret locked away in her childhood diary. Before graduating high school Erin published her diary into a book called Stolen Innocence. She has since published 4 more books.

In 2013 she had Erin’s Law passed in her home state of Illinois. A law that requires personal body safety taught in public schools every year. She has made it her mission to have it passed in all 50 states. Currently Erin’s Law is in 38 states, Ontario Canada and Kerala, India.

Since 2004, Erin has shared her story in over two hundred publications and appeared on Oprah, OWN, Today, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, CNN, Fox, Katie Couric, Tamron Hall, MSNBC among others. In 2015 she was featured in the documentary Breaking the Silence on TLC. Glamour magazine named Erin Woman of the Year and People magazine named her one of fifteen women changing the world. Erin is married and the mother of 4.

We’re honored to welcome back Kevin Doran of KSTP Channel 5 as our emcee. A familiar face to Minnesotans and a trusted voice in journalism, Kevin brings not only his signature warmth and professionalism to the stage, but also a deep and enduring commitment to child advocacy.
