014 - Legacy: Celebrating Our Founder Derri Smith

ESTN_EpisodeCover014_1400.jpg

This is a special bonus episode where we honor the legacy of our founder... Derri Smith. She tells her own story and also how the plot developed into what we now know as End Slavery Tennessee, going beyond sound byte answers and taking us on a grand journey – from Derri’s personal trauma to her dedication to serve the survivor community to organizing strategically and intentionally as a faith-based organization to the trauma-informed care staff and safe house currently in full operation – all contributing to Tennessee’s ranking as the #1 state in the nation for fighting trafficking of minors.
