ABOUT TONI
Hi! I'm Toni, and I love life! I am blessed to do what I love, and that is helping those who have been trafficked heal from their trauma. Every week I work side by side with women who are working hard to recover from trafficking trauma so they can live a life of freedom. My personal lived experience of trafficking, education, and certifications, and the work I have done for over ten years, have led me to be where I am today. I am honored and grateful to be able to be here at such a time as this.
