Louisville residents have no sympathy for human trafficking survivors
Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to hear the story of Angela Renfro, a woman who survived human trafficking and used her traumatic experiences to help other women in similar positions. This interview can be found in one of my previous posts, Creating a Safe Space for Victims and Survivors of Human Trafficking .
