On this episode Shanta speaks with Jan Edwards - Founder, CEO and Board Chair of Paving the Way Foundation. A professional nonprofit run by a group of business experts committed to disrupting the cycle of child trafficking through educational and training programs. We pave the way to freedom for children, their families and our community.

Jan has extensive leadership, speaking and training expertise with Fortune 100 companies. After traveling to Ethiopia and learning about human trafficking there, she wanted to do something about it. She is instrumental in bringing awareness to this silent crime of trafficking to our community. She is a member of the UN National Council on Women, UNICEF Unite and Orlando Cares Team. She has relationships across all levels of law enforcement, education and her global community. She brings passion, drive and a commitment to make a difference out in the world such that children reach their full potential.

We have 55 Mission Ambassadors and Advocates throughout the country - from Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale, Columbia SC, to Chicago, Tampa to Jacksonville, FL up the coast to Washington D.C. They are trained to lead a conversation following our award winning film, Trapped in the Trade to empower and educate.

Together we've educated and trained over 15,000 youth, parents and teachers in the past two and half years. We impact our communities through powerful conversations saving our children from being lured into this dark world.

Together we can make a difference and end modern day slavery.
