Beauty From Ashes | Anita Cunha
New England, USA
I have been in recovery from drug addiction and sexual brokenness for over 12 years, and I am passionate about helping women who are facing similar struggles.
In my professional career, I serve as the Director of Outreach for Beauty For Ashes, leading recovery groups in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I facilitate these groups to support women as they exit the commercial sex trade, walking with them on their journey toward healing and restoration. As a Certified Drug Addiction Recovery Coach, I also work in correctional facilities across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, helping incarcerated women find hope and healing as they begin their recovery.
I find great joy in walking alongside those who are hurting, helping them discover a new path filled with purpose and freedom.
In my spare time, I love bowling, roller skating, listening to worship music, and spending time with my adult son. Watching the sunrise is one of my greatest joys—it’s where I feel closest to God!
Beauty For Ashes serves vulnerable and sexually exploited women. Many of the women, if not all, have experienced sexual trauma, trafficking, prostitution, and have substance abuse disorder. We strive to meet the women where they are and come alongside to empower and offer hope.
- Pray for the women who are still out there sick and suffering.
