Who am i ?
I am simply one person.
One person who was victimized and abused since birth. One person who was sold and commodified as a teen. One person who was taught throughout life that she wasn’t worth much.
I am simply one person. One person who said enough is enough. One person who began to fight her way out of that mindset. One person who found healing. One person who wants to reach a hand back to the next girl or guy. One person who wants to help organizations understand those who have been abused for days, weeks, months, or years. One person who wants to build communities that strongly say no to exploitation.
I am simply one person. There are many others like me.
I am Marianne. This is My Name My Voice.
At My Name My Voice, we only hire lived experience experts to provide education and consultation to the public. While the above is an overview of my personal story, every survivor of trafficking has his/her own story and voice. My Name My Voice wants to amplify those voices. After a lifetime of being silenced, we know that each voice is powerful in itself.
We also believe that if we join our voices together, we are a thunderous roar that cannot be ignored.
education
We provide human trafficking education for groups, schools, churches, law enforcement, first responders, social services, and medical professionals.
Human trafficking has been displayed in movies and talked about on the news. But, do you really know what to look for? Human trafficking is like a chameleon and looks different from place to place and person to person. It mimics the community it is in. The bad actors are master manipulators and can hide in plain sight.
We go beyond the typical Human Trafficking 101. We help you take a look at your community, your schools, your local level of awareness, and your local organizations who can help victims.
Our education packages are tailored to the group’s needs, current awareness, and local human trafficking climate. We spend the time to research your area, collaborate with those already doing the work where you are, and help you to build a strong community who wants to end exploitation.
consultatioN
We offer consultation for those engaged anywhere on the spectrum of the anti-trafficking movement.
It takes a village to walk alongside those who are exiting the life. Survivors of trafficking have needs that must be met even before they fully exit. Often, the off ramps out of trafficking are paved with potholes, speed bumps, and obstacles. We value every organization who is committed to standing with survivors who are reclaiming their lives. Wherever your organization is on that spectrum, thank you. Thank you for what you do for survivors of trafficking.
If you would like to take your organization to the next level and ensure that your organization is survivor led and trauma responsive, reach out to our experts. We want to assist you in providing exemplary services for those exiting the world of trafficking.
Consultation options include single, recurring, and personalized packages. Our first meeting is free. We will talk about your dreams and goals for your organization. We will talk about what you like and what you’d like to improve. And, we will create a plan together that fits your needs.
Our goal is for you to be the best at what you do. Each organization plays a pivotal and unique role in walking alongside survivors of trafficking. We want to walk with you while you take your place in the fight.
