Do Nigerians in the diaspora have a hidden human trafficking crisis? Are Nigerians at home facing the same crisis? On this episode, we share our platform again with Tina Frundt, the founder and executive director of Courtney's House. Like she did in the last episode, here she provides a wealth of knowledge and insight you will never saw coming. Brace yourselves for a shocking exposé.

This episode is rich and dense with insider information directly from a frontline hero.  Tina Frundt, a survivor of child sex trafficking and the founder of Courtney's House, will enlighten us on some unsavory, yet important facts about the process of survivor "rescue". We will examine the flaws in the criminal justice system and discuss the role of racism in creating disparate outcomes for survivors, as well as Tina's work with police reform in DC, specifically surrounding systemic racism and police brutality. We will also find out what actually happens with a good number of those missing black children/teenagers we see on posters and on Instagram - the ones we often wonder about weeks later.  Lastly, we will discuss what you can do to make a difference. An emotive, yet extremely insightful episode.
