Nicole Moehring is not just an International Award-Winning Author but also a dynamic public speaker and a fervent advocate dedicated to championing the rights of individuals with cognitive, developmental, and intellectual disabilities. As the visionary founder of Voices of Change 2018 and the creative mind behind the Evan and Gillian Says book and educational series, Nicole has dedicated her life to the fight against abuse, passionately working to create safe environments for vulnerable individuals and their families.
She actively advocates the implementation of effective support systems that provide not only immediate assistance but also long-term solutions for those affected by trauma. Through her unwavering commitment, she strives to ensure that justice is not merely an ideal but a concrete reality that is accessible to all who need it. Her work involves raising awareness, providing education, and building partnerships with various organizations to ensure that those facing challenges can access the resources and support they need.
Nicole's advocacy is born from a profoundly personal journey that resonates deeply with her experiences and emotions. She is the proud mother of two children: her daughter Maci, who is neurotypical and a courageous survivor of sexual assault, and her son Evan, who faces the challenges of Fragile X Syndrome and autism and has endured repeated instances of sexual abuse and exploitation. While Maci's experience was met with understanding, compassion, and justice, Evan's voice was tragically silenced, and his rights were overlooked. This stark contrast in their experiences inspired Nicole to drive systemic change, promote education, and increase awareness around these critical issues.
A survivor herself of domestic, emotional, mental, financial, psychological, and sexual abuse, Nicole approaches her advocacy with a raw honesty that resonates deeply with those who hear her speak. Her resilience and unwavering determination shine through as she shares her lived experiences, aiming to uplift others, challenge failing systems, and ignite essential conversations that demand attention.
Her books,
Finding Myself: Overcoming Abuse, Heartbreak, and Loss, Then Finding True Love and
Evan’s Voice: A Boy with a Disability, Abused and Failed by Many, and His Mother’s Quest for Justice, illuminate untold truths and offer a beacon of hope to families grappling with trauma. Through her writing, she not only shares her story but also provides crucial insights for others navigating similar paths.
Nicole is sought after as a speaker, hired to speak to diverse groups such as law enforcement agencies, educators, families, medical professionals, and organizations focused on disability advocacy. With a passionate commitment to her mission, she strives to amplify the voices of those who often go unheard and champion the rights of marginalized individuals. Through her efforts, she aims to foster understanding, promote inclusivity, and tirelessly work towards creating a world that is safer and more welcoming for all members of society.
