Almost 11 years after the 2009 take down of an Upland Park Police Department, Victoria spoke with Donah Sandford. The survivor, woman, business owner, warrior and more who was able to get a federal and civil conviction on a police officer who was a criminal trafficker. Donah shares her heroic story (around 15:00 minutes and very triggering around 33:00 minutes) of the legal process and what she did to face a criminal dressed in blue. How Donah was able to bring light to a tragic scheme of violence against sex workers , where 15 other survivors came forward. Victoria trembles through trying to summarize the story for listeners and bring up how to pay attention to Donahs story of a charge that needs to be widespread against some of the people dressed in blue and that is " VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW".Listen to learn more.

In Part one ,He described the hard dark truths of grooming ,conditioning by ways of drugs like trading, mental health lapses such as dissociation and having a disability brought on by the former legal guardians (We cant even call them parents, adopted parents, or caregivers).
Here in Part two, he will uncover more evil by professionals in the workplace, in schools, in medical spaces, and perpetrators amongst us in the community. What you will hear is nothing new, especially this occurred in the early 90s, but its being brought to light. The darkness and silence is evils fuel and we cant allow it any longer! Support his story and applaud his wins as he speaks out and plans to find a path through legislation to make change and work with other male survivors.

Dr. Mary Kaye Holmes will speak on her experiences being sex trafficked and sexploited as a teenager in the inner city , UNSEEN. She will share truths of the "life" from drug trafficking to incarceration and struggling to get her education and getting out. Mary highlights her story of finding out that education was her key to escaping the victimization, surviving through the sexual, emotional, verbal, and physical abuse to thriving. Mary invites you to be apart of her thriving success from listening to her podcast, reading her books, and participating in her life coaching.

We know what Unseen is about... and we dont need to tell you sex trafficking, labor trafficking, pedophilia rings, and other malicious sex cults are evil, dark, and scary. But there are survivors that overcome and have faced those evils and telling their story of surviving, is winning and needed. Listen to a silenced story of painful memories of being adopted by individuals who forced trafficking upon a child and found ways to suppress, silence, and bury his voice for many years. He speaks after realizing last year that he can now speak and share his story to reach that other male, hetero survivors who may also be silencing their story. He will describe the hard, dark truths of grooming ,conditioning by ways of drugs like trading, mental health lapses such as dissociation and having a disability brought on by the former legal guardians (We cant even call them parents, adopted parents, or caregivers).
So much information was discussed that it was decided to break it into two parts. Dont forget to check out Part 2.
