After living internationally for a decade in conflict and post-conflict zones, Belinda experienced what she calls a “beautiful collision” with the brave souls of women who survive in the most dangerous places in the world. She is a frequent speaker and contributor to Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, The Washington Institute, Red Tent Living and Today’s Christian Woman. As the founder of One Million Thumbprints and the visionary behind Silence Is Not Spiritual, she leads a movement of brave souls seeking to overcome violence against women worldwide. She is the author of Brave Souls: Experiencing the Audacious Power of Empathy (IVP Press, 2019). Several years ago, Belinda and her husband, Stephan, traded the hub-bub of greater Washington DC for Grand Rapids, MI where they relish late night conversations with friends, and gazing at stars while living in the country.
