As a teenager, Eliza had big dreams. However, within 48 hours of arriving in LA, the man who had promised to make her a star had sold her to another man in Hollywood for $500.

This was only the beginning of an ordeal that was to last for over 15 years.

Today Eliza is an advocate for survivors of human trafficking, sex trafficking and child trafficking.

In this episode, Eliza and I discuss why she's the queen of bouncebacks, the importance of taking personal responsibility and how being difficult saved her life.
