San Diego District Attorney Summer Stephan joins The Glamorous Grind for a chilling, eye-opening look into the hidden world of human trafficking—and how it’s happening right in our own neighborhoods.

With over 35 years of experience on the front lines of justice, DA Stephan shares how a childhood moment sparked her lifelong mission to protect the vulnerable. From teens recruited on Instagram to trafficking operations that thrive without a single bruise, this episode is packed with truth, tools, and action.

• How traffickers use psychological control instead of physical chains
• Why 80% of victims in San Diego are local teens, not foreign imports

• The common red flags parents, teachers, and friends should watch for
