About Us
The Don’t Touch Me Movement is a bold and unapologetic call to healing, restoration, and spiritual authority. Founded by Dene Williams, a survivor and truth-teller, this movement was birthed from pain but rooted in power. We are a Christ-centered nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women heal from toxic relationships, trauma, abuse, and cycles of shame. Through books, music, real conversations, and powerful resources, we remind women that they are not too broken to be made whole. We teach them how to reclaim their voice, set godly boundaries, and walk boldly in the identity God gave them.
We break silence. We uproot lies. We shine light on the places nobody talks about, emotional wounds, spiritual warfare, generational patterns, and the enemy’s playground in relationships. We are here to help women say, “Enough is enough.” No more settling. No more cycles. No more silence. This is the movement where healing meets truth, and where God rewrites the narrative.
Dene Lavoris Williams: Author, Advocate, and Daughter of the King
Dene Lavoris Williams is a woman whose life is a living testament to the redemptive power of God. Born in 1966, Dene’s journey began in a storm of trauma and rejection, but it is ending in a legacy of victory. After surviving a childhood marked by abuse and a young adulthood shadowed by addiction and incarceration, Dene found herself at a crossroad, a season of total isolation in 2024. She chose to surrender everything, trading her “fantasy worlds” for the absolute Truth of Jesus Christ. Following a divine command, she left everything behind to move to South Bend, Indiana
Today, Dene is a mother of four, a grandmother of eight, and a bold voice for women who have been silenced. As the author of the Uprooting the Issues series and the charming children’s book Box Car Finds His Forever Home, she uses her gift as a scribe to help others identify the poisonous roots in their own lives so they can finally bloom.
Dene serves faithfully at Faith Alive Ministries. She is the founder of the “Don’t Touch Me” Movement, a non-profit organization, a mission birthed out of a righteous indignation to protect the sanctity of a woman’s space and body. Dene stands as an anchor for the broken, proving that no matter how deep the trauma, God’s grace goes deeper.
She provides a voice for the silenced and a shield for the vulnerable, proving that your history does not dictate your destiny. Dene attributes every victory, every book, and every breath to no one but God.
Every woman deserves to be embraced!

Creating a world where women live free from fear and harm.
Don’t Touch Me Movement: Our Mission
The Don’t Touch Me Movement is a faith-based, healing-centered initiative dedicated to supporting women through every stage of emotional, spiritual, and creative restoration. We exist to empower survivors of toxic relationships, abuse, and systemic brokenness by providing a sanctuary of storytelling, sisterhood, and unshakeable truth.
We believe that true healing flourishes through the power of expression. From books and music to film and the fine arts, we utilize creativity as a divine doorway to deliverance. Whether expressed through journaling, songwriting, acting, or dance, when a woman finds her voice, she finds her purpose.
Our movement offers safe spaces, bold resources, and real conversations designed to help women reclaim their identity, establish non-negotiable boundaries, and finally become the woman God created them to be.
This isn’t just a movement, it’s a lifeline. It is a community of anchors, a call to total wholeness, and a sanctuary for every woman who is ready to rise, ready to heal, and ready to stand.
Empowering women, embracing boundaries. We envision a world where healing becomes a lifestyle, voices are no longer silenced, and every woman knows her worth, walks in her purpose, and stands firmly in her God-given identity.
👑 The Proverbs 31 Woman
Proverbs 31:25–26, 30–31
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue… Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
➤ This is the gold standard of godly womanhood—strong, wise, hardworking, and full of dignity. Not because she’s perfect, but because she fears God and walks in purpose.

Keisha, 29, Survivor of Childhood Sexual Trauma
“For years, I was silent. I never told anyone what happened to me as a child. The shame ate me alive. When I stumbled across the Don’t Touch Me Movement, I saw a post that said, ‘Your healing begins when your silence ends.’ That wrecked me. I joined the online devotional and started using the adult coloring pages and writing prompts. Something in me started to shift. I began to feel safe enough to open up — to cry, to release, to heal. I know now that God didn’t forget about me. He was saving my voice for such a time as this.”

Maria, 43, Domestic Violence Survivor
“Before I found the Don’t Touch Me Movement, I didn’t know how to use my voice. I spent 11 years in an abusive marriage where I was constantly told I wasn’t good enough. I blamed myself for everything. But through this movement, I found a community of women who didn’t judge me — they understood me. The workshops, the journaling exercises, and the music helped me begin to believe again… in God, in love, and in myself. Today, I lead a support group for other women coming out of similar situations. I am no longer a victim. I am victorious.”

Danielle, 56, Former Pastor’s Wife
“I had been in ministry for over 20 years, yet I was broken inside. After my husband’s affair, I felt discarded and humiliated. Church folk turned their backs on me, and I almost lost my faith. The Don’t Touch Me Movement reminded me that God still had a calling on my life. Through the stories, books, and film screenings, I saw myself. And I remembered who I was. Now, I’m mentoring younger women, writing again, and walking in the confidence I thought I lost. This movement didn’t just inspire me—it resurrected me.”
