DANIELLE CROSBY
Author of It's Not Your Fault, Rising from the Ashes: Only Human and Survivor Strong AND Motivational Speaker; Owner of Survivors Strong
I want to help people better understand the dynamics of Domestic Violence and the effects of it long after.
I have a long term goal of bringing back The Battered Women's Movement in full force, since it has seemed to slowly disappear.
I have spoken multiple times at the Hillsdale County Jail in Hillsdale, Michigan and the Hope House in Jonesville, Michigan. I have also spoken on a Domestic Violence Panel in Adrian, Michigan, the Hillsdale Community Library and it was open to the public, as well as the Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan. I have also done a speaking engagement for the Behavioral Health Summit in Jackson, Michigan.
I was the keynote speaker at my Alma Mater, Trine University for Take Back the Night. I was also the first interview guest for Hutton Forensics with the phenomenal Dr. Erica Hutton. I have been a guest speaker on Podcasts, as well as having my own.
When there are events coming up, they are listed towards the bottom of this page, under EVENTS.
VOTED BEST PERSON OF THE YEAR 2020
I was voted by the people in our county, out of quite a few other people, to be the best person of the year. I never thought this was a thing, let alone possible. I am so grateful though that I have been told numerous times that I have changed people's live. All I ever wanted was to help one person, and now I have helped plently more than that.

GETTING TO KNOW DANIELLE
This journey has been a very long process and it has taken me a long time to get here in my life. The process of writing everything out to help other women, also has acted as a way to help heal myself.
I have an amazing husband and 3 precious kids and 4 crazy dogs. I never would have known that my life could be how it is now. Years ago, I thought I was destined to be miserable and constantly be a prisoner for someone to hurt and manipulate. I never thought that I would ever be able to help other women, let alone myself. My boys are healing from the trauma that they also went through with our abuser.
I have started Jaxon in counseling and Brayden is working through stuff with surgeries and the doctors. We couldn't have made it this far without the help of Jayden. He has been a rock for us. When we welcomed Jaysa into our family it was like we were finally complete and I cannot wait to see where these next few years take us.
I was even Voted Best Person Of The Year for our County, by the people in it. It has been a whirlwind but I am so happy that I have been able to make a difference.
"Like a flower in the desert
I had to grow
in the cruelest of weather,
holding on to every drop of rain
just to stay alive.
But it's not enough to survive,
I want to bloom
beneath the blazing sun,
and show you all of the colors
that live inside of me,
I want you to see
what I can become."
