Florenza with Words to Ponder RadioShow featuring Dr. Barbara Amaya

Join Florenza for her most powerful show to date! She will be interviewing Sex-trafficking survivor and advocate, Dr. Barbara Amaya. 

As self-described: Barbara ran away at the age of 12 after being abused by multiple family members. As a runaway, she was taken in on the streets of Washington, D.C. by a couple who seemed nice, but ended up selling her into the horrific world of human trafficking. She was used for months, and then eventually sold to a man named Moses who took her to New York and continued to traffic her for many more years. Now, Barbara fights for other victims of human trafficking and aims to change policies that treat victims as criminals.

Barbara is an anti-trafficking advocate, speaker, trainer, author and survivor leader in the movement to end modern-day slavery and human trafficking. She is Senior Technical Adviser, Policy, Programs and After Care Services at SeraphimGlobal, and has been actively raising awareness of the sexual exploitation of children and domestic sex trafficking since 2012.
