Our Story
Why We Stand Up.
The SOLO Project was born from the courage of survivors who refused to stay silent. We exist because silence has protected abusers for too long — and because every child deserves to be safe.
What SOLO Means
Survivors Overcoming Life's Ordeals.
SOLO stands for Survivors Overcoming Life's Ordeals. It is a declaration — that survivors are not alone, that communities must stand out against abuse, and that we all have a responsibility to lift those who have been harmed.
Our founder, Elizabeth June, started this mission as a one woman show in 2024 that has gone on to win "solo show" awards in New York, Los Angeles and in the U.K.
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."
— James Baldwin
Our Mission
Awareness. Prevention. Accountability.
We work to end child sexual assault and clergy sexual abuse through education, community engagement, and relentless advocacy. We believe that informed communities are safer communities — and that accountability is not optional.
The SOLO Project (Survivors Overcoming Life's Ordeals) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing Awareness and Prevention of Child & Clergy Sexual Assault. Our mission is to bring creative presentations and workshops to Colleges, Churches, Conferences and Civic organizations around the country and around the world.
Survivor-Centered
Every decision we make is guided by the needs, dignity, and voices of survivors.
Radical Transparency
We demand transparency from institutions and practice it ourselves — no exceptions.
Community Accountability
Abuse thrives in silence and secrecy. We build cultures where accountability is the norm.
Education as Prevention
Knowledge is the most powerful tool we have. We put it in the hands of parents, educators, and communities.
What We Focus On
Child Sexual Assault
1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys experience sexual abuse before age 18. We work to change those numbers through prevention education, survivor support, and public awareness campaigns.
Clergy Sexual Abuse
Faith communities must be places of safety, not harm. We advocate for institutional accountability, survivor justice, and policy reform within religious organizations.
What We Offer
Keynotes & Performances
Including the award-winning solo show NOTES from a NARCISSISTIC NEGRO & Other N Words — a powerful theatrical experience that opens hearts and starts conversations.
CSA Continuing Education
Continuing education courses for therapists and counselors on child sexual assault — building clinical competency and trauma-informed practice.

In-person and virtual courses and workshops for communities, organizations, and institutions ready to take action.
