As one of the women who escaped from the Cleveland home of Ariel Castro after 11 years of captivity, torture, and abuse, Michelle Knight has risen out of darkness and trauma to captivate audiences around the world with her incredible story of heroism, survival, and healing. Speaking honestly about her experiences, she imparts valuable lessons for other survivors, sharing invaluable takeaways for those who work with victims of trauma and abuse.
Choosing a new name for her new life, Knight, now known as Lily Rose Lee, is an international and New York Times best-selling author. Her first memoir of the Cleveland kidnappings, "Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed," tells the riveting details of what happened inside Ariel Castro’s home and also shares her tumultuous childhood. Her new book about life after her escape, "Life After Darkness: Finding Healing and Happiness After the Cleveland Kidnappings," came out on the heels of the five-year anniversary of reclaiming her life. It shares her inspiring journey to finding true friendship, healing, happiness, and a life’s purpose advocating for victims of trauma and abuse. Lee and her story have been featured on Dr. Phil, The Today Show, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN, USA Today, Newsweek, and People, among others.
A captivating speaker who shines in a moderated conversation format, Lee has appeared before audiences ranging from survivors and community groups to professional organizations in mental health, trauma survivorship, social services, and law enforcement. Committed to being a strong voice for victims, her unforgettable story and inspiring message continue to touch lives and make a positive impact around the world.
