S2 Episode 5 Deep Dive: Savannah's Story

On this episode of the Trafficking Free America podcast, our honorable guest is Savannah Parvu. Savannah is a familial trafficking survivor, abolitionist, and victim's advocate. She's also on the Board of Directors of the Florida Alliance to End Human Trafficking and works with Florida legislation to create laws helping human trafficking victims.

We learn more about how Savannah left the trafficking life and entered into her current roles to help other victims leave. We also gain her insight on how we, as the Church, can start making an impact in the lives of those who are marginalized, and the importance of building/maintaining relationships throughout that process.
