Where We Started
A Note from the FounderDear Visitor,
My name is Michelle Lori, and I am the founder of The Head and The Heart Foundation. Thank you for visiting our website, and for exploring our cause. TH&TH Foundation began as an idea long before it ever came to any kind of fruition. It began when, as a teenager, I experienced relationship abuse/dating violence for the first time. That experience impacted me so deeply that I felt moved to do something to create change--to try to make it so that other people would never have the same experience I did. I began writing my novel, The Head and The Heart, in May of 2017. The book was heavily based on the real events I experienced while in my previous toxic relationship. I worked diligently and desperately on it for eleven months, until I had a completed manuscript. In June of 2020, after countless efforts to revise and clean up the book, I was offered the opportunity to publish with New Degree Press. |
The novel was published in August of 2021. My biggest hope for my book is that it will show others who have experienced relationship abuse that they are not alone in their battle, and that change is possible, but only when we create it.
With that being said, the journey does not end there. The book is only the first step for TH&TH Foundation--only a catalyst for this enterprise. Authentic change takes time, effort, and lots and lots of support. I sincerely hope you'll join me on this mission. I certainly will need your help.
Your voice matters, so make it heard. Your struggles are worth something, so change the narrative. Your decisions are influential to all of humanity, so be diligent.
Be kind, and love safely.
Best Regards,
Michelle Lori
