Episode Summary.

Imagine discovering a world that operates in the shadows of our sunny, bustling Miami streets, a world where exploitation and lost hope are the currency. This is the reality for many caught in the web of human trafficking, but today, we're shedding light on this darkness with our guest, Georgia Downey from Glory House of Miami. Georgia brings us an authentic look into the world of human trafficking and the beacon of hope that the Glory House represents for adult women survivors. With an unwavering dedication, she and her team work tirelessly to rescue, restore, and empower those who have been coerced into a life they never chose. Her stories are not for the faint of heart, yet they are essential to hear for the change they can inspire.

Throughout our conversation, we're taken on a journey of transformation that transcends the physical realm. Georgia's own path to leading Glory House is as compelling as the stories of the women they've aided, marked by resilience and a deep-seated belief in redemption. She opens up about the unique challenges of nurturing souls back to life and the community's role in supporting this mission. The heart of this episode lies in the powerful testimonies of survival, the hard-won battles against the invisible chains of trafficking, and the shared vision of a future where this form of modern-day slavery is abolished, not just in Miami, but across the globe. Join us to grasp the gravity of this issue and witness how faith, hope, and love are rewriting narratives, one life at a time.
