Reconnecting back to life after selling your body to different people isn’t easy. Renee Jones survived human trafficking, and she will share her life story on how she got in it and how she got out. Renee will explain using role play and a short film on how the police handle her as well as other victims. Renee will break down the names that pimps, tricks, and the law enforcement use on the streets. Renee will breakdown the tricks that are used on social media with something as simple as a flattering comment on Facebook.
