Ellie was the subject of a recent BBC Three documentary, ‘Convicting my Ex’, and has appeared on media outlets around the world. She was a finalist for the University of Glasgow’s World Changing Alumni Award, one of Fabulous Magazine’s Women of the Year, and one of Glamour Magazine’s most inspirational VAWG activists.
Pain into Power
Ellie is dedicated to using her voice to make change and help others. Through her candid re-telling of her own story she is busting stigmas and turning her own pain into her platform. Ellie believes that the shame of abuse is never for the victim to carry, and that the more open we are in talking about it, the sooner change will come.
‘Pain can either be your prison… or your platform’
