Sophia Menelle is not just an author, but also an artist. Dancer, choreographer, dance teacher, and performer.
Graduating high school at the young age of sixteen, she went on to pursue professional dance at the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company II for over two seasons.
As a 2020 graduate of Point Park University with a bachelor’s in dance, she hails from one of the top five dance programs in the country. Menelle returned to Point Park to complete her master’s degree in arts administration the following year.
Sophia is an artist both on and off stage; she has spent many years developing her creativity through movement of the body but always returns back to paper and pen. She often journeys through various forms of storytelling based on personal experiences and spiritual awakenings, whether in her own choreography or her writing. She considers herself a women’s advocate on issues such as sexual violence and abuse. Nowadays Menelle is busy juggling motherhood, dance teaching, and writing. She has recently returnedback to Point Park University as a faculty member and is raising a son that she will one day share her story with.
"We Are the Murder Victims Who Lived" is a gritty and grimy memoir written in the first person, which tackles the surviving of sexual assault while offering hope on life after. It also glimpses into the struggles and shames of life lived during, and a reminiscence on the innocence of life led before.
This book serves as a beacon of hope to survivors of sexual assault as well as a wake-up call for a society blinded by darkness. The book targets audiences of every age and gender and sexual orientation, presenting itself as a safe zone specifically for women, a comfort for those previously affected by sexual violence, assault, and abuse. It is also written for those who are trying to understand what has happened to their loved ones, navigating through the unknown. It is an education in the horrors of sexual assault, a spit in the face of the writer's very own rapist. It paves its way as a testimony to the power of good people. It is an education in the phases that survivors of sexual assault face: denial, hate, hiding, shame, and fear, which then lends itself to hopefulness, unbounding love, and truth. It is a plea for people to listen, forcing us to look at the ways in which we view sex and relationships, and consider whether we will raise our very own sons from boys to men--or from boys to rapists.
