Megan Tomlinson is the founder of
Silver Lining of Hope, Inc., a 501(c)(3) survivor-led nonprofit named in honor of her murdered mother, Leslie “Hope” Houston, focused on domestic violence, hidden homicides, missing persons, and education in medical and legal systems. After becoming a survivor of domestic violence herself and then losing her mother to it with no immediate arrest, Megan spent months researching and advocating alongside authorities, helping move the case toward accountability. She now works nationally through the organization’s H-O-P-E Initiative to ensure her mother is more than a statistic—and that her name brings hope to families.
