PIMPS AND SEX TRAFFICKERS PROBABLY FEAR THIS WOMAN

That’s because January Riggin has a growing nonprofit that helps sex workers find a new life. She founded Soap2Hope, an organization that takes a ‘boots on the ground’ approach to helping sex workers dealing with addiction as well as mental and physical health issues. Why does she do it? In this edition of Odyssey House Journals January says it’s because she has vivid memories of what it was like selling her body at an early age.
