Happy 2024 from all of us here at Stories Foundation and the Connecting our Stories Podcast!
At Stories Foundation we believe every person has a unique story and every story matters. We all know in our stories there are messy, hard and beautiful pieces and when we share story together we gain a greater understanding of each other and the world we live in.
In this episode we hear from our friend and survivor of human trafficking and exploitation, Ren. Ren's shares vulnerably about her story and for some, it may be triggering.
We create compassionate spaces for ourselves and others here, remember to have compassion for yourself as you listen!
If you have questions or want to learn more about human trafficking and the things Ren shares in this episode, reach out to [email protected] for more resources.
You can partner with us in this work by sharing this podcast, leaving us a review and making a donation at www.storiesfoundation.org.
