Unfinished Business

In this episode, the ladies scratch the surface on human trafficking and its impact specifically on Black and Latina communities. A March 2017 Instagram post gone viral about the alleged 14 Black and Latina girls gone missing within 24 hours in the DMV area, sparked a much needed national outcry on this existing issue in America. What has since come to the surface about Washington D.C. police department's latest social media initiative to heighten awareness on open cases of missing Black and Latina girls, has provoked conversation on the issue of human trafficking in the U.S. Tune in as we explore the lack of mainstream coverage on black and latina centered stories, who is actually involved in human trafficking, government vs. community action, self-care and last but not least, resources to use to tackle this issue.
