Summary:

Welcome to an extra special episode of Fostering Voices as we celebrate our 200th milestone! This journey wouldn't have been possible without the vision and dedication of Chris and Jihae Watson, who worked tirelessly to create this impactful educational space. We're deeply grateful to continue fostering authentic conversations within our community, tackling real issues with compassion and honesty.

In this episode, we take on a critical and urgent topic: sex trafficking. What risks do our children face? Who is most vulnerable to victimization? And what can we do to protect our communities?

To guide this vital conversation, we're joined by Heidi Chance, a retired law enforcement professional with over 27 years of experience combating human trafficking. Heidi is not only a seasoned advocate but also an author and trainer dedicated to raising awareness and creating lasting change.

Tune in for a powerful discussion, as we learn more about the realities of sex trafficking and the actionable steps we can take to make a difference. Together, let's continue fostering hope, education, and community.
