8:40 am
during her teenage years it's a possibility that she might have. but she is wrapping hits but she's not really being cooperative so what i'll do i'll contact after today i think that sounds very promising i'll see you yeah hopefully in our t.k. is part of the charity journey out which is made up of former trafficking victims she comes in from time so we can talk to the women in their cells about her personal experiences to help get them off the streets but when i disclose that i used to be in the life myself they're like they're willing to listen and i always tell them it's the very easy to change something that has been a part of you since you were a child. but i let them know that if i can do within those 6 no reason or a way that they couldn't do it because i don't want special. 30 years old it's
8:41 am
a miracle that has survived growing up in los angeles she was raised by a mother suffering from depression and a violent father who was addicted to crack cocaine and 12 years old after running away from home she agreed to get into a stranger's car. and he noticed that i was nervous and he offered me some marijuana i tried it for the 1st time and i i passed out or blacked out and. next thing i know i was waking up in this strange place full of pain because i was being raped at the time and that i would come to i would. you know scream for help or scream to let me go and i will be punched in the face repeatedly and when i would. you know yell and the beatings and the rapes continued for probably about 2 weeks. then truly managed to get away she spent days wandering
8:42 am
the streets alone. at that time i was suicidal i didn't want to live anymore so i knew the longer i stayed in the streets so it would take my life i knew that hopping into anyone's car drive walking around the streets a middle and i that someone would eventually abducted me and take my life she ended up under the control of a pimp who took advantage of her vulnerable state and he says oh well you've done it before now you can do it again under. with that with a little bit more guidance and you know as long as you do what i tell you to do i will have to be you. and we're going to fulfill the promise is possible to the people you know we've
8:43 am
8:44 am
government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth. is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes are going to wrapped and it's going to chill. so we're in for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace the shoot of. a turtle life between the and the.
8:45 am
war who was only 12 years old her abuser didn't sell around the streets as she was scared of the police instead she would be sent to motels or the customer's home or deal would last 2 years. one guy told me that i was too i was too old i was probably about 14 years old at the time so obviously they were and that they wanted someone that wasn't as physically mature and wanted someone to look at the young as possible so i started to go to figure our which was a famous track in los angeles and i started to work on the streets. for 4 years it was passed from one pimp to another around 10 in total she managed to get away by leaving california and finding love however her years of prostitution were so violent that her body has been left permanently damaged i can't imagine any
8:46 am
children because of that. because of the stuff that i've been through. it's very hard for me to. you know because my harmonise are telling me that i need to reproduce but at the same time i see what i'm able to give to other people and other children and i probably wouldn't be able to do the work that i do the way that i do it if i did have children so it's a hard pill to swallow but if it's up. the reason so many women are falling into the hands of pimps is probably because in the u.s. pimping has now entered popular culture. pimps are appearing more and more on social media they show off their new recruits and tattoo their name on them to show that they are their property.
8:47 am
