Gloria Masters was child sex trafficked for the first 16 years of her life. Leased by her father and trained by her grandmother, she had no one willing or able to help her. Today, she is an esteemed author, speaker, and founder. Gloria is the woman behind the global hand signal released last year to help resource children under 16 in combating abuse and trafficking. She founded Handing the Shame Back, a charity dedicated to adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA), and works to educate others on how to prevent CSA from occurring. She also hosts a YouTube and podcast channel of the same name, now reaching audiences in over 90 countries, featuring interviews and resources designed specifically for survivors.

Gloria has written three books: On Angel’s Wings, which details her childhood; Flightpath to Healing, an experiential guide for adult survivors; and Keeping Kids Safe, a roadmap for parents and teachers on how to protect children from grooming and sexual abuse.
