Diane Tarantini

Diane Tarantini is an award-winning author, Pushcart Prize nominee, child safety educator, and sibling sexual abuse survivor from Morgantown, West Virginia. She is the author of Everyone Was Silent: A memoir and the children's picture book The Brave Knight, selected as the 2023 West Virginia Library Commission Summer Read and donated to 7,000 foster children across the state. Diane serves as a body safety educator in West Virginia public schools, an Advisory Board Member at 5Waves, and a member of the IncestAware Alliance. Tarantini speaks at schools, churches, and professional conferences and is currently developing a new children's book on sibling bullying and an online Sibling Safety course with fellow child safety advocate Kimberly King. Diane's mission is simple: no child should suffer in silence and no survivor should ever feel alone.
