What would you do if your child vanished without a trace?

On this episode of Affirm That Sh!t, Jennifer sits down with Monica Estevez, a Life Enrichment Director and a fierce advocate for domestic violence survivors. But today, she speaks as a mother—one who lived through every parent’s nightmare.

In May 2022, Monica’s daughter, Briana, went missing. For over a year, she lived in a relentless cycle of fear, grief, and desperation, searching for answers that never came. Then, in November 2023, an Instagram post revealed the unthinkable—her daughter had been trafficked, sold from hotel to hotel, and returned home as a different person. The scars run deep, and the road to healing is anything but easy.

Monica shares how she leaned on her faith, the brutal realities of human trafficking, and the red flags every parent needs to know. She speaks on the failures of the system, the importance of tracking loved ones' locations, and her mission to help other families facing the same nightmare.

This episode is raw, heartbreaking, and a must-listen for anyone who wants to be part of the fight against human trafficking.
