003 – Survivor Story: Joan

Apr 17, 2020

This episode introduces you to Joan, a graduate of End Slavery Tennessee. It's not unusual for people to view those involved in drugs and prostitution with disdain, just as they view human trafficking survivors with great sympathy. As Joan tells her story, we see how being trafficked at a young age can easily lead to addictions and sometimes a form of prostitution that is more a trap than a rational choice. Plus, how she's used her past experiences to build a business that makes products crafted with hope in mind.
