Donna Ward is a fictional character, created by author Dionne Simpson, enabling her to remain anonymous and stay safe from her abuser, while still sharing her life with the world. After being 'outed' in 2020, Dionne made the brave decision to come out and tell her story as herself. While Dionne no longer needs this protection, Donna Ward continues to provide anonymity for victims and survivors by sharing their real stories with the protection of anonymity.
