Meet Our Advisory Board

The Advisory Board at End The TTI is made up of survivors, advocates, and professionals who guide our work with their lived experience and expertise. They help shape our advocacy, survivor support, and education efforts — keeping our mission grounded in compassion, accountability, and the voices of those most affected.

    Floe M.

    BOARD CHAIR

    Floe is a survivor of the Troubled Teen Industry, having attended Seven Stars (part of Elevations RTC) in 2019. That experience fueled their passion for advocacy — speaking out, raising awareness, and pushing for stronger protections to end abuse in the industry.

    With a background in communications and tech — including work with Dazzle Rocks, Kano Computing, and features in WIRED UK — Floe combines creativity with purpose. Now studying Computer Science, they’re focused on using their skills to support survivors, amplify their voices, and help build lasting change.

  • Emily A.

    MEMBER

    Emily A. is a survivor of Bethesda Home for Girls in Petal, Mississippi, and has been advocating against the Troubled Teen Industry since 1992. Her decades of advocacy are driven by a deep commitment to protecting teens in institutional settings and shutting down abusive programs.
