Interview With Anonymous Woman Who Was Sex Trafficked

 

Interview With Anonymous Woman Who Was Sex Trafficked

An interesting opportunity arose for me. I had a woman reach out to me via FB messenger talking about how she had been sex trafficked and how she got out. I thought it could be beneficial for other men and women to hear, so I asked her to come on my show.

That being said I have never done an anonymous interview before so it is a bit different but I still think this is a highly beneficial interview with a story that can provoke necessary conversation for humans around the topic of sex trafficking.

If you want to get plugged into anti-sex trafficking organizations click any of the buttons below.

Nicholas Clements

I had been pondering and thinking about the initiated man for weeks and had run said something to Kenny about it. Then we thought why not do a video and Kenny highly suggested bringing in a good friend of his Nicholas. It ended up being a great discussion about the initiated man and I walked away with so much to think about.

I hope you tune in and listen to the whole thing!
