In Summer of 2014, Tonya Stafford who is a survivor of human trafficking founded It's Going To Be OK, Inc. (IGTBOK). In 2015, her voice, led to the creation of House Bill 2290, which was created in order to designate January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month in the State of Texas. The bill was created to help inform and bring awareness of Human Trafficking in the State of Texas in order for people and organizations to help our state leaders end human trafficking forever.

Barriers to individuals based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation identity and beliefs-must be confronted and overcome.
