Chris Davis Proud is an author, speaker, and survivor whose journey from devout Mormon wife and mother to openly lesbian feminist has inspired readers and audiences alike. After changing her life in 2020 to embrace her authentic identity, Chris chronicled her transformation in her memoir, Worthy: The Memoir of an Ex-Mormon Lesbian. Her work delves into themes of faith, sexuality, abuse, and personal liberation, resonating with many who have faced similar challenges.
In addition to her memoir, Chris has contributed essays to several anthologies, including I Spoke to You with Silence: Essays from Queer Mormons of Marginalized Genders, where she shared her piece “Five Stories on Why I Don’t Belong." She also penned “Follow the River Home” for Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot, reflecting on her childhood in Bangor, Maine, and another anthology contribution for North Woods at Night titled "Hold It: Potty Talk for the Northern Maine Woods Camper." Currently residing in her home state of Maine, Chris continues to write, speak, and advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating faith transitions and healing from religious trauma. She is working on her next book about lessons she's learned since living off-grid, and more nostalgic stories from growing up in Maine.
