Human and Sex Trafficking in America: Jessie's Story (Part Two)
In this episode, Guest Jessie Alex shares her personal account of human and sex trafficking in America. Jessie is a survivor or human trafficking and sex trafficking and walks us through more of her story, how she has overcome things and what you can do to help advocate or get help.

I think her story is so valuable to both raise awareness about sex trafficking that happens right here in America and to offer hope to those who might be struggling with similar traumas in seeing how far she has come and knowing that things can get better.
