Anne Moss’s BIO:
Anne Moss is her first name. It’s a southern thing. She is an
author and Emotionally Naked® motivational speaker who helps people
foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide.
Despite the family’s best efforts, her 20-year-old son Charles
died by suicide June 5, 2015 after many years of struggle with
anxiety, depression, and ultimately addiction. Anne Moss started a
blog,
EmotionallyNaked.com, and
chronicled her family’s tragedy in a newspaper article that went
viral.
After receiving a message from a young lady who wrote that one
of her blog posts saved her life, Anne Moss sold her digital
marketing business and followed her purpose of preventing
suicide.
She has written a book, Diary of a Broken Mind, due out in
October 2019, has been featured in the New York Times, and was the
first suicide loss survivor ever invited to speak at the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Originally from North Carolina, she graduated from UNC-Chapel
Hill and lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, Randy. They
raised two sons, the late Charles Aubrey, 20, and Richard, 26, a
filmmaker living his dream in LA. Charles’ dog, Andy is 13 and
barks at babies in strollers as they walk by the front of the
house.
