Nadia Davis is the recipient of multiple state and national public
service awards and has been a public figure in California for over
two decades. As a young high-profile lawyer, Nadia served on the
school board and represented the wrongfully convicted. She then led
local and state efforts to improve collaboration of services for
victims of interpersonal violence and was elected as county
supervisor. She is the former long-time spouse of Bill Lockyer,
California’s former Attorney General and Treasurer, with whom she
now happily co-parents. Her experience with PTSD and addiction in
the trenches of a highly publicized abusive relationship led Davis
through the challenges of public shaming, injustice, arrests,
mandated treatment, and a total lack of privacy for personal issues.
Her memoir, Home is Within You, details her courageous journey to
wholeness and health in a powerful homage to finding one's truth
and worth. Nadia captures heritage, justice, and personal recovery
into a tour de force utilizing prose, poetry, and letters to her sons. It
is also a defense of privacy and motherhood, as well as a call to action against shaming of women and ineffective, often damaging policies toward struggling families. Davis suggests more compassionate methods of treatment and restorative justice enabling those in recovery from trauma and addiction to ultimately find their personal truth and strength within.
