As many of you know, I work for an organization called iEmpathize. We are working to eradicate child exploitation and sex trafficking. Every day I am surrounded by stories of neglect, abuse, and victimization that are happening here in the United States, and Colorado. It breaks my heart, and that is why I must do something to respond.
Being responsible for a beautiful 18-year old girl, while being so aware of the dangers that she intersects with at school, in malls, online, etc... is completely humbling! I am probably a bit overprotective because of my line of work, so my best attempt to help Rakeb understand that is to drag her to as many iEmpathize events as I can to hear for herself what threats are out there, and how she can avoid them.
