Our Founder

Our founder, Gwen Cassady, was first trafficked at the age of 4.  Pimped out by her mother in her small town of Zionsville, Indiana, due the complexity of her neurobiological synaptic development coupled with the complexity of the extremely evil behaviors of her perpetrators, including an Eli Lilly master chemist who forced her to take a special pill every night when 4 year old 'Lady Guinevere' was brutalized by the 'Knights of Zion' so her mother could have better purses and shoes. Her memories wouldn't surface until she began seeing the #1 EMDR therapist in the state of Virginia after the age of 40.

Her writing provides her with the most cathartic aspect of the process, and her goal is to help inspire other survivors and thrivers of every gender identity who have been sexually assaulted to share their stories as well to help continue healing.

As a program of ManagingLove.org, the Love Locks Club was founded when Gwen wrote a letter to Ruth Bader Ginsberg on September 14, 2020, four days before her tragic, historical death.

Gwen is inspired by RBG and will continually utilize her and Iowa foster mom, Linda Herring, as her two primary role models and heroes.  

Gwen will also be utilizing our first Amendment right of free speech.  This site is not meant for people to slander or cause harm to character or person which is why people are only allowed to use first names and not last names in their stories.

Our mission is to help victims of sexual assault of any kind have a safe place to help heal from their trauma.

No matter your race, gender identity, color, creed, or socioeconomic status, you have a safe space to help heal the wounds from your assault.  

We want you to be able to go through a cathartic process by being able to share your story knowing you are loved and valued.  Your voice is important.

In America, an act of sexual violence occurs every 73 seconds.

PLEASE CALL 911 if you are in an emergency situation.
