Shining Light in Darkness
Our Story
  • Co-founder, Florida DeVaul-Dudley, experienced a series of traumatic events, including molestation by a family member as a child, a horrifying ordeal of date rape in her early 20s, and both sexual assault and domestic violence at the hands of her former partner. Throughout these distressing experiences, she never sought professional help or treatment for the trauma she endured.
  • Florida embarked on a journey of healing and self-education to understand how the unresolved trauma had profoundly impacted her life.
  • Florida gave birth to Shining Light in Darkness in 2014 with her husband, Ed Dudley. Driven by her profound connection and love for helping people, the organization was founded to aid sexual assault and domestic violence victims and survivors on their path to healing and rediscovering joy in their lives.
