OUR FOCUS
Truth-Telling
Creating an atmosphere for people to share in their understanding of modern-day slavery through various entertainment/activities: art, drink, fashion, film, food, music, etc. Understanding the global issue and not turning our backs but actually looking within ourselves and the choices we make.
Awakening the Spirit Within Us
Bringing people together to care about our neighbor's near and far. Sharing knowledge and creating resources to build compassion for other's less fortunate than ourselves.
Challenging Notions that Victims Sought This Life
We avoid victim-shaming knowing that this was not a life sought out by those who have been forced into these circumstances. By now you have all heard of the father's anguish when his daughter was taken on April 8 from the Dallas Mavericks game, no family should have to go through this ordeal.
How this is accomplished
We plan, design, and facilitate parties and events in various communities to raise awareness of the many aspects and issues of human trafficking. We FUNdraise by using volunteer artists, musicians, and foodies to come together and share their talents to help end it. We leverage the partnerships and the talents of others. We won an opportunity with On Air Media last year and we need volunteers to come forward and share their expertise and talent. We just finished a project with UTDsolv and 80 students in their Senior Capstone project in Social Impact Marketing. These students have asked us to help them create a chapter on their campus. We would love to have a chapter in every campus in Texas.
Our Needs
We are in our 4th year of existence. We continue to fundraise to raise money to fund our next awareness-fundraising event. We need sponsors and donated space to host events. Restaurant owner partners.
We believe that pictures tell 1,000 words and we do have a photo exhibit used in Beverly Hills art gallery to highlight the problem of human trafficking in a very engaging display. We would like to have our photos in airports. Also, because we recently took pictures at the Dallas Holocaust Museum, we would like a connection to this museum as we believe we can put together a photographic art exhibit and highlights the human spirit. We need connections and interest to have our photos on display in all Dallas counties. We have pictures at the Dallas Arboretum as well. We need the tourism board or each city to sponsor our photo exhibit in their city.
