Alpa Patel

Alpa Patel is a passionate advocate for children's safety and a voice for survivors of child sexual abuse. A survivor herself, Alpa broke her silence after decades of carrying a painful secret. Determined to empower others, she wrote Bad Secrets—a heartfelt children’s book featuring South Asian characters and tackling a topic that is often considered forbidden in many cultures, especially in South Asian communities.

Through this story, she opens the door to crucial conversations about body safety, boundaries, and the courage to speak up. Alpa’s mission is rooted in prevention, awareness, and healing—especially within families and cultures where silence has long been the norm.

She founded Alpa’s Voice to educate parents and children, support survivors, and break the generational cycle of secrecy and shame. All proceeds from Bad Secrets go to a nonprofit organization that help child sexual abuse prevention.

Alpa lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and children and continues to use her story to inspire courage, healing, and change.
