In this profoundly moving conversation, join us as we sit down with Jennisue, a survivor and advocate who has turned her harrowing personal experiences into a powerful force for good. Jennisue shares her incredible journey from a traumatic childhood to leading an international counter-trafficking organization operating in 43 nations. Discover her insights on resilience, forgiveness, and how trauma can equip rather than define us. This candid conversation delves into the depths of human pain and the heights of human spirit, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope.

With over 25 years of personal experience and professional involvement in the counter-trafficking movement, Jennisue has gathered intimate knowledge of the depths of trauma survivors endure. Having been sold into the sex trade at a very young age, she has seen the darkest corners of humanity. However, rather than letting those experiences define her, they have ignited a passion within her to contribute to cultural and systemic change in this sphere.

At Compass31, our hearts break for those who have been victimized by human trafficking, and we firmly believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual. Our mission is to fight this crime through prevention, restoration, and leadership development. We aim to offer transformative hope and healing to those trafficked for sex or labour and prevent this crime from perpetuating through our global education initiatives.
