In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk with Rebecca Bender, human trafficking survivor and founder of the Rebecca Bender Initiative and the Elevate Initiative. Rebecca talks about how she went from growing up in a smaller community in Oregon to being the victim of sex trafficking and how, after 6 years, she finally was able to escape. Her story is one of courage and grit as she openly shares her story so that others would be encouraged. Today she trains law enforcement to combat trafficking and helps survivors to take back their lives and pursue their dreams. It's a don't-miss episode.
We hope this episode encourages you to believe that your past doesn't define you; in fact, your past may hold a key to being the heromaker you were made to be.
