Featured Speaker & Discussion Topics
Kelley Marshall, a Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) training specialist, is both an advocate and survivor of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Drawing from her own experience as a survivor, Kelley offers a rare and transformative perspective on what trafficking truly looks like and how you can help stop it. She will teach us:
- How victims are targeted and controlled
- Why many victims stay with their traffickers
- How to recognize the subtle signs that someone may be in danger
- Actionable ways to get involved in the fight against sexual exploitation
Through her survivor story and trauma-informed training, Kelley equips individuals, faith communities, law enforcement, and everyday citizens with the tools to identify and respond to trafficking with compassion and clarity. Her organization, EmpowerU, and long-running radio show have uplifted countless voices while spreading awareness and hope.
