Description
Rev. Becca Stevens is an Episcopal priest and writer who is chaplain at Vanderbilt University's St. Augustine's Chapel in Nashville, Tennessee. She is notable for her work helping former prostitutes leave the sex industry and start new lives.
She founded Magdalene in 1997, a two year residential program for former prostitutes overcoming addiction and wanting to restart their lives. She also started Thistle Farms, which employs the same group of women to make products sold in stores like Whole Foods and on the Internet. In 2013, Thistle Farms opened a caf�, employing ex-prostitutes as baristas.
She has written several books, including nine published by Abingdon Press. Her 2013 memoir, Snake Oil: The Art of Healing and Truth-Telling, "details her own sexual abuse and healing and how her ministry has led to the founding of Thistle Farms", and was reported by The Tennessean as an area bestseller. She has received many local awards as well as being designated a White House Champion of Change in 2011.
