Michelle Denault, owner and founder of “Voices Carry, LLC,” is a survivor of educator sexual abuse and the creator of the training program “Grooming 101 - A Predator’s Playbook” and “Grooming and Sexual Violence. It Is Your Business.” In 2015, Michelle’s perspective shifted dramatically when she realized that what she had believed was a “love relationship” with a trusted teacher was actually manipulation and abuse. Since then, she has been speaking out and advocating for change. Her “Grooming 101” program has been implemented in over 100 schools and at various institutional conferences throughout the United States, to train adults to recognize the signs of grooming and empower students to identify if they or their peers are being groomed. Michelle is married to Superintendent Mike Denault, and together they have four children. She also has a deep love for Disneyworld and Duke Basketball.Interestingly, her high school mascot was a Pretzel. She teaches her audience how to make a pretzel with their fingers during her presentations.
