But most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus and passionate about empowering women to overcome a victim mentality and rise above the limitations they place on themselves.

By sharing my own story of transformation, I help bridge the gap for those who feel distant from God, while providing motivation and encouragment to move forward with boldness. My mission is to equip women to step out of survival-based thinking and to step into resilience, faith and embrace the fullness of their God-given purpose and potential.

Kelsey had a secret.

(Actually, she had several secrets.)

While most people in university were going on dates or hanging with friends between classes, Kelsey was unknowingly entering the underground world of sex work. Juggling the demands of being a college athlete while battling with depression and her own self-worth, Kelsey was enticed the first time she heard her college professor mutter the words “sugar baby.”  In search of money and attention, Kelsey found herself slowly entangled in an industry where she would inadvertently be groomed, ensnared, and ultimately, exploited. 

Moving to Texas after college, Kelsey scaled her business and began jet-setting around the world, clinging to the illusion that she was in control—that is, until an encounter with the Holy Spirit changed everything. 

In Folly, Daniels paints an intricate portrait of her path into sex work and the difficult journey to untangle herself from the lure of an industry that had shaped her. In this unfiltered, witty and raw account of Kelsey’s time as an escort, Folly showcases the dark subculture that exists behind the veil of luxury. This story is a testament to the power of God’s grace and mercy, and His ability to meet his children exactly where they are, regardless of setting or circumstance.
