Were you aware that only 1% of sex workers survive the occupation? That's one fact my podcast guest shares with us in this Powerful Episode that's Now Airing on my Podcast: We Are Our SuperHero -.
Meet Ashley, Ashley Faison-Maddox — Human Trafficking Survivor, Activist, and Founder of Diamond Collective. Part 1: Ashley’s story of surviving human trafficking and now disrupting exploitation in the legislative arena and offering restorative, trauma-informed healing through her nonprofit, and her potent speaking engagements, is deeply inspiring. Her work empowers survivors to rediscover joy, community, and confidence.
In this episode, we discuss:
* The type of programming that’s entailed in human trafficking. (And I’ll share how similar it is to what I experienced;)
* How she was trafficked and the confusion around the realization of it;
* The turning moments from jail to a bold second chance;
* How dangerous sex work is and the work to disrupt it;
* Ashley's very important work with the legislature and her nonprofit Diamond-Collective.
