Pamela Price Unfiltered

Human Trafficking, Foster Care, & The Power of Belonging with Robynne Jeisman

Season 2 Episode 41

"If we operate out of wounding, it’s dangerous. If we operate out of healing, we change others as they change us."

In this episode of Pamela Price Unfiltered, we dive deep into the uncomfortable realities of the human trafficking "food chain" and the systemic failures that lead our youth from foster care in modern day slavery: human trafficking.

Our guest, Robynne Jeisman, founder of Turntable Housing, shares her 27 years of international experience working with high-risk and vulnerable adolescents. From the shocking statistics of Oakland’s trafficking trade to a revolutionary housing model that prioritizes a "good night's sleep" and "choice and voice," this conversation is a masterclass in empathy and action.
