A young woman returned to The Scarlet Cord looking for me. She gave me a hug and thanked me for the work. As I listen to people’s stories during ArtPrize, I try not to be shocked. But this story rocked me.
With tear-filled eyes, the young woman said, “As a small child, I was sex trafficked every day from my daycare center, along with several other children. Customers came to the daycare center or we were taken to other locations. The abuse continued for several years.”
As I hugged the young woman, I noticed that her mother was crying too.
