Rosie O'Donnell says, "Angela Shelton is amazing. She speaks for every abused person who has lived through the same hell."

Comedian, Jamie Kennedy says, "Angela Shelton didn't just make a movie; she started a movement."

At the age of twenty-seven, writer and actress, Angela Shelton, who had already received accolades for her previous movie, Tumbleweeds, set out to create a documentary during the Writer's Strike. Her goal was to survey women in America by interviewing the women who shared her name.

She threw a party to raise funds and convinced a crew of four to go on the road for 60 days in a rented motor home.

As Angela started interviewing other Angela Sheltons she found that 70% had been victims of rape, childhood sexual assault and/or domestic violence. This surprising journey also led Angela to confront her own abusive past and her pedophile father on Father's Day.

The multi-award winning documentary Searching for Angela Shelton has started a grassroots movement of healing for survivors of abuse of all genders. The documentary has won over twelve awards including the Newport Beach Film Festival's Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking, the Durango Film Festival's Audience Award, the Memphis International Film Festival's Best Documentary Award and the Asheville, North Carolina's Audience Award and Best Documentary Award.

Angela's story and the film have captured media attention. Angela and her brother, Steve, appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and CBS's 48 Hours Investigates. The hour-long special on CBS won 48 Hours Investigates the Shine Award for excellence in media. A one-hour version of Searching for Angela Shelton aired on Lifetime Television for Women in April, 2006.

Angela not only inspires healing in survivors of trauma, she is also the superhero, Safe Side Super Chick, who teaches children how to be safe in the Safe Side video series created by Baby Einstein creator, Julie Clark, and America's Most Wanted creator, John Walsh.

Angela is currently writing a book and movie script about her journey while making the documentary, as well as finishing the original book that was the foundation for Tumbleweeds.

Angela has quickly become recognized as one of the more outspoken voices for survivors of trauma. Due to the overwhelming response, the Angela Shelton Foundation was born with the mission of inspiring and empowering all survivors of abuse to heal and lead joyful lives.

Angela travels the world, bringing her message of healing to audiences internationally. Through her animated and interactive presentation Angela candidly shares her own experiences as a rape and incest survivor and her powerful techniques for letting go of unconscious negative thought patterns. Angela demonstrates her methods for transforming your life and achieving your maximum potential, empowering anyone who is looking to make a positive change in his or her life.
