Hey there, I'm Becca

I enjoy camping, art, and amazing food. I am a very curious person and I enjoy learning about other people. I was a mormon.

About me

I am the child of a very mormon(7th generation, descended from the OG pioneer days) mom and a baptist father. In the divorce, my mom was awarded the right to our "spiritual upbringing". I attended primary, seminary, young womens and mutuals. I was always a "jack" mormon, with an interest in tattoos and coffee (possibly because they told me not to be.)

Why I left More answers about 'Why I left' the mormon church

The church looked the other way while my sister and I were neglected by our mom, because she was "trying her best" and we had to respect her. I also realized how much abuse had happened to her as a result of the purity and perfectionist culture of the church. I always had more questions than my leaders were comfortable with, and the CES letter answered a lot of them.
