About

Stories was born out of the belief that when people learned about human trafficking and how it affects our communities they would want to do something to fight against it. We create opportunities for people to do just that by empowering them to take the first step through education and purposeful purchasing.

When Sherrill Thurston and her daughter Steph Page read Passport through the Darkness in July of 2012 they knew that they had to do something about the issue of human trafficking. They knew that when others became aware they would feel the same. This is the beginning of our story as an organization, we are honored that you would join our story to yours and choose to make fighting human trafficking a part your next chapter.

Live your story, it matters. Share your story with others, it will make a difference. And when we do this we will see all of our stories change for the better.
