SIMONE OLIVER

A ReVisioned Woman

I have been committed to the spiritual care of women and girls for 15+ years, bringing healing to wounded hearts and finding solutions to gender-based violence through prevention and awareness education.  

I have authored and co-authored three books: From Grace to Grace: A Prayer & Healing Journal; In Realitea, She is Me; and God Said I Am Battle Scar Free, and I am an honored recipient of the Phoenix Award from Harambe Social Services for work in the field of domestic violence.  While in Princeton Theological Seminary, I was the distinguished recipient of the John Allen Swink Award for Excellence in Preaching.   I’m also a member of the Women of Color Network and the NJ Coalition to End Domestic Violence, but my greatest joy is life with my husband and daughter.
