Empowering Our Community

My vision is clear: we must end child sex trafficking and all forms of exploitation. > As a survivor of these heinous crimes, I am dedicated to fighting for the protection of all children. Our approach is simple: it begins with prevention and ends with healing. Prevention starts at home by empowering parents to talk to their children. Since we cannot be with them 24/7, children must know how to respond to inappropriate behavior.

We teach essential body safety: no one is allowed to touch areas covered by a swimsuit. We empower children to say "NO," run away, and tell a trusted adult—or as many adults as it takes to be heard. Most importantly, we must believe them; children do not make up stories about abuse.

Beyond prevention, we are committed to breaking the cycle of trauma. By providing in-person and online support groups for survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA), we foster a path to healing that ensures survivors can reclaim their lives. Join me in this fight to safeguard our children and allow them to simply be children.
