#20 – Season 1 Wrap Up: Listener Feedback, Inspiration in nature, and a personal Non-Profit Spotlight

01/22/19 • 11 min

In this episode, I'm flying solo because I have some interesting things to share as a wrap-up to Season 1. We're approaching the one year anniversary of recording the first Collected Clan episode, and it's been an exciting year introducing you to some of the outstanding people in my world that I've collected along the way. Collected not as objects, but as treasures from the journey. In each conversation, I learned something new about these people I've known for years...and some of them for what seems like a lifetime, but even so I learned something new. That right there is the power of conversation.

This episode’s Non-Profit Spotlight supports End Slavery Tennessee.

End Slavery Tennessee provides comprehensive aftercare for human trafficking survivors, many of whom are minors...children and teenagers...who were sexually exploited throughout Tennessee. Every month in Tennessee, 94 minors are used for sex trafficking. Beyond sex trafficking, there's labor trafficking where goods and services are continually produced without compensating the laborer. The mission of End Slavery Tennessee is to promote healing of human trafficking survivors and strategically confront slavery in in the Volunteer State. Slavery seems like a rather harsh word. Didn't slavery end after the Civil War? Not exactly. If fact, there are more slaves now than at any time in history. Learn more about End Slavery Tennessee online at EndSlaveryTN.org.
