Listen Later

Founder of Talitha Coffee, Jenny Barber joins Blake to share her journey of combining a passion for coffee with a mission to combat human trafficking. Jenny and her husband have been involved in anti-trafficking efforts for over 15 years, spurred by personal experiences and a desire to help others break free from exploitation. They realized that many survivors struggled to reintegrate into society due to a lack of education and employment opportunities. In response, they created Talitha Coffee, a business that provides training and jobs for trafficking survivors, alongside a network of holistic care to support their recovery. Jenny emphasizes the importance of awareness and understanding the signs of trafficking, challenging listeners to recognize the issue in their communities.
