Katherine Svoi Symthe is the granddaughter of Lester Brown, whose cruelty to animals made the cover of Life magazine in 1966, that enraged Congress to pass the Animal Rights Law. Lester Brown moved to California where Smythe’s mother started buying children from the sex trade and abusing them. Smythe endured 17 years of torture, pain, and even witnessed her sister’s death by her mother. Today, Symthe provides an exclusive look into her life and how she utilized her talents to overcome the traumatic trials in her life which created a passion from within her to create “Healing survivors creating Thrivers”. Follow Katherine as she tells her phenomenal story in hopes of saving other children and inspiring strength in others.

“It is a cold, harsh night outside, with temperatures of 60 degrees and below, and I am locked up in a six foot by six-foot brown, cold, wooden box located in the dog kennels. I can barely see the stars in the sky as I peak through the cracks of the box. The night is cold as death itself. My body shivers from the cold. I can hear the sounds of the dogs outside the box. Their howls begging for food, and whimpering in agony, almost to the point of overwhelming what little remained of my hearing. I am barely clothed with brown shorts, yellow tank top, no underwear and no shoes.”
