She is the Founder and Director of Beauty from Ashes Ministry (BFAM)—a Christ-centered organization that empowers women as they exit the commercial sex trade and recover from addiction. Under her leadership, she launched two vital initiatives:

Her story speaks to silent survivors, justice advocates, and frontline workers, inspiring many to join the fight against human trafficking. Her work continues to change lives and challenge the false narrative that sex should ever be considered work.

“THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS ON ME,

BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME TO PROCLAIM GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR.

HE HAS SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED,

TO PROCLAIM FREEDOM FOR THE CAPTIVES AND RELEASE FROM DARKNESS FOR THE PRISONERS,

TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOR AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD,

TO COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN,AND PROVIDE FOR THOSE WHO GRIEVE IN ZION—

TO BESTOW ON THEM A CROWN OF BEAUTY INSTEAD OF ASHES,

THE OIL OF JOY INSTEAD OF MOURNING,

AND A GARMENT OF PRAISE INSTEAD OF A SPIRIT OF DESPAIR.

THEY WILL BE CALLED OAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, A PLANTING OF THE LORD FOR THE DISPLAY OF HIS SPLENDOR.”

— Isaiah 61:1-3
