In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Alexandra Ford, a former trafficking victim turned activist. Alexandra shared her powerful story of being trafficked by her boyfriend and the journey she took to reclaim her life and become an advocate for others.
We discussed the misconceptions surrounding human trafficking and the importance of educating ourselves and our communities about this issue. Alexandra emphasized the need to include boys and men in the conversation and teach them about healthy relationships and consent. She also provided practical tips for parents on protecting their children in the digital age.
Alexandra's strength and resilience are truly inspiring, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to share her story with you.
