As president of the board, I'm thrilled to celebrate Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center's 10th birthday and commemorate Human Trafficking Prevention Month on January 28th. For my 43rd birthday, I would greatly appreciate your support and sponsorship on Facebook for this fundraising event to aid survivors and victims of human trafficking in our community- https://lnkd.in/e5_J8756 Last year, I created a mural for STAC called "From Surviving to Thriving," featuring Desmond Tutu's quote: "My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." With the upcoming uncertainty around supporting vulnerable populations, I am committed to raising awareness and fostering conversations. I hope you share this commitment and donate today.
