Shelley Lubben is a wife and mother, ordained Chaplain and missionary to the sex industry, fighter for truth and advocate for sex workers and porn performers who are abused by the adult industry. Shelley is also a former porn actress fighting tirelessly against the pornography industry, which affects most of the world in a destructive way. Unrelenting in the cause of human rights, Shelley is passionate to educate people all around the world about the abusive and illegally operating porn industry. She endeavors to inspire people to stop viewing pornography and contributing to the destruction of men and women who are being abused daily in the pornography industry. Shelley's message: PORN IS NOT GLAMOROUS. Because of the huge epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, drugs and prostitution, and the abuse of adult industry workers, Shelley and her husband Garrett founded the Pink Cross Foundation. Offering help to hurting people whom many choose to ignore, it is a nonprofit organization created to reach out to adult industry workers offering emotional, financial and transitional support for those who want out of porn and the sex industry. Shelley has been working with adult industry workers since 2002 when she began volunteering as a teacher and counselor at local rescue missions and prisons in the State of California. She has worked at Madera Rescue Mission, Bakersfield Rescue Mission, Central California Women's Facility Prison, and Valley State Prison for Women and has traveled throughout the United States as a speaker and counselor on the negative effects of pornography at various recovery programs, churches and secular organizations. Shelley and her team have worked with thousands of people struggling with pornography addiction in the Pink Cross Foundation Help Forums as well as reaching out to thousands of porn stars and sex workers through outreach and individualized care packages. A former stripper, prostitute and pornographic actress in the 80s and 90s, Shelley suffered major negative effects of the pornography industry and was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depressive Disorder, Impulse Control Disorder and substance abuse due to years of trauma from the sex industry. In 1994, she was infected with the non-curable disease Genital Herpes while making a pornographic film and later developed early cervical cancer. Shelley had three unexpected pregnancies from prostitution acts, two ending in miscarriages. Later, with her husband, she had an Entopic pregnancy and a third miscarriage. FOUR total pregnancy losses. Shelley is sadly cognizant of the maliciously destructive nature of the pornography industry. After finding God through Christianity and enduring eight hard years of recovery at the Champion's Center in Tacoma, Washington, Shelley was able to live a normal healthy Champion life. Shelley received her Bachelor's of Theology degree at Vision International University in California on December 7, 2009 and is an ordained Chaplain with the Order of Saint Martin. As the executive director of the Pink Cross Foundation, Shelley leads a non-profit organization that reaches out to porn stars and sex workers to help them rebuild their lives as well as helping those who struggle with porn addiction. A devoted Mom, Shelley enjoys raising her daughters, cooking, reading about great Reformers, sharing the good news and inspiring people to never give up. She continues to be heavily involved in missionary and social work. Shelley speaks knowledgeably on such topics as the secondary negative effects of prostitution and pornography, the truth behind the porn industry, legislation concerning adult entertainment, how to overcome pornography addiction and other addictions, the risks and effects of sex work, sex education and other subjects, in particular Theology and Christianity.
