007 - Nicole

ESTN_EpisodeCover007_1400.jpg

The young woman you get to meet today uttered a phrase years ago that impacts you - the listener, right now. Nicole was a juvenile trafficking victim, which means she was under 18 when she was being trafficked. 

After she was released from her exploiter on a trafficking bust in West Tennessee, Nicole was brought to Child Protective Services, and later introduced to us at End Slavery Tennessee. Nicole was paired with a mentor who had also been trafficked, as is often the case with our organization, so she felt comfortable with the people who were trying to support her. It was this mentor who called Nicole one morning with a task that seems to have been meant for her.

Please note that this conversation contains explicit content related to domestic abuse, violence, sexual assault, rape, and human trafficking.
