Denise (Dee) Roman
Author, Speaker, Mentor, Grief Recovery Specialist
Twelve years ago, Dee walked into Oasis Church, in Los Angeles, CA deeply scarred from over 2 decades in the sex industry and a 30-year meth addiction. It was at a Women's Christian Conference sponsored by Oasis, called Godchicks that she came face to face with the truth: she was valued by God and had a purpose.
Dee dove head first into her recovery process and started attending a variety of recovery programs, The Bondage Breakers, Celebrate Recovery, Grief Recovery and a private support group for ex sex-industry workers, run by the Treasures Ministry, in Los Angeles. She was surrounded by love and found the courage to work through her healing so that she could use her story to help others heal.
Dee has coached survivors of sex-trafficking at the Los Angeles Dream Center’s Project Hope. She is currently mentoring several women from Treasures who are transitioning out of the sex industry. Dee also teaches The Grief Recovery Method in Los Angeles, California, Dallas, Texas and Akron, Ohio . Dee was the original survivor leader for the Treasures Ministry support group on Monday nights for over 2 years and now leads the national online EMPOWERMENT Group.

So many people helped me put my life back together and I am thankful to each and every one of them. I firmly believe that once you have overcome something, you should help others. It is an honor to come alongside someone and encourage them to persevere through the toughest of times.

I have learned alot in my lifetime, whether through books, programs, courses, or good old-fashioned life experience. Now I create my own content and teach women who have been sexually exploited how to overcome their past & thrive.

Artist- Acrylic, Paint Pour
During the pandemic I needed a new creative outlet that would help to relieve my stress. I started painting with acrylics and then learned how to do "paint pouring". I love to create art specifically for someone I love and give it as a gift.
