Emily Lindin is the author of "UnSlut: A Diary and a Memoir" and founder of The UnSlut Project, which uses personal story sharing to work against sexual bullying and "slut" shaming. The project was inspired by Emily’s own experience being labeled the school "slut" at age eleven and being sexually bullied throughout middle school. Now a Harvard graduate and recent PhD, Emily started The UnSlut Project by blogging her diary entries from middle school. Her award-winning, crowd-funded film, "UnSlut: A Documentary Film" is currently screening at universities, theaters, and festivals around North America. Emily has been featured speaking out against "slut" shaming on television and radio shows including ABC with Katie Couric, CNN with Brooke Baldwin, and NPR's Here and Now, and in many magazines and blogs including Women's Health Magazine, Glamour UK, and Salon.com.
