A few years ago I watched a documentary on Youtube called Operation Toussaint: Operation Underground Railroad & the Fight to End Child Trafficking.

The documentary really impacted me, so I decided to get involved and spread awareness. I started raising money for Operation Underground Railroad (ourrescue.org) a nonprofit organization that helps with rescuing and providing relief for children who have been sold into slavery.

During the time I was fundraising, I saw a post from Kaylee Dey, a woman who I had met at a photoshoot in Arizona. She had shared her story on Instagram about how she had a close encounter with a human trafficking. Suddenly all the statistics I had been reading about, about the prevalence of Human Trafficking, were solidified. I asked Kaylee if she would be willing to share her story on Neoteric Talks; she agreed. That was two years ago! The day has finally come to share her story with you all. 

Kaylee is a Model, Entrepreneur and Mental Health Advocate. In this episode, Kaylee shares her story of what it was like for her being a single teenage mother. She shares how difficult it was to financially provide for her son, and how her desperation to pay rent and childcare expenses led her to having a close encounter with a human trafficker.

Kaylee’s authentic personality and optimism shines through as she shares her shocking story - a story that far too many were never lucky enough to tell. We also talk about ways to keep yourself safe if you are in the modeling industry, and red flags to look out for from photographers. Kaylee shares the dark side of the sex industry, and I share a personal testimony of how I contracted herpes from an ex-boyfriend, and how I was able to holistically cure myself from it. 

Tune in for Part 1 of this riveting conversation with Kaylee Dey.
