“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” Audre Lorde This quote keeps coming to mind as we reflect on this conversation with Laura Wilcox, friend, entrepreneur, activist and overall wonderful woman. In this episode we talk to Laura as she discusses a new non-profit she is building with community members, Stir It Up Collective, whose goal is to support womxn who are recovering from sex trafficking. Laura talks about what human trafficking is, how she came to start this initiative, and their goals moving forward. We discuss sex work verses sex trafficking, challenge our own biases, and question why blame and shame is often directed at womxn and their bodies. To her, wellness means feeling ease, “that peace inside...kind of like finding home within ourselves”. Finding things that bring you moments of joy. Thanks for the thought provoking and inspiring conversation, Laura. Thanks for listening.
