@@fast_traffick_reportThank you so much for sharing. This topic needs so much awareness and less stigmatisation! There's nothing to be ashamed of. Of course I wish I hadn't happened to you or anyone else, yet you survived and thrived and are here to tell your story.
Again, thank you and may God continue to watch over you and yours 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Thank you kindly for this testimony, my granddaughter went missing for 8+ months in San Antonio TX, just a month ago she escaped her captures, she met her guy friend on Instagram. Thankfully my granddaughter is now safe. God Never Stops Working, He Never Stops Working 🙌🏾
I lived 18 years in Atlanta starting in 1999. One of my first jobs was a Mental Health Clinical Director at a children’s residential center, 90% were children from the foster care community. My floor was little girls aged 11 to 14. I along with other therapists provided 1on1 and group counseling to these children. What I learned was that some of these girls were placed in a temporary shelter (downtown Atlanta) prior to finding foster parents. Pimps knew this and would purposely target that shelter. Girls would run away?? (really be coerced by the pimps) and the state would find them or get them back, that’s when I would get them in residential centers, it’s been over 20 years since I worked there. Listening to the brave and beautiful woman’s stories brought me right back to the horrific stories I heard from those little girls mouths. I will never forget it and the crimes against children, unspeakable acts, still emotionally shake me to this day.
Thank you, thank you so much for sharing your story. We need to expose these things, keep talking beautiful lady and again with love, thank you.
Thanks for being a soldier who cares. You have such an important place in our lives! ❤
I’m an adult sexual violence survivor and I’ve also worked in youth serving, crisis-type programs. That included a hotline worker in Atlanta while I attended CAU off and on from ‘96-‘99 and a resource outreach case manager for a high risk maternity program in Portsmouth, VA.
Atlanta was and is still wild. There is a heavy and egregious spirit of entitlement, human rights violation, perversion, pedophilia and sadistic invincibility all over that damn city. Wasn’t it just 2 years ago that a Red Lobster waitress was snatched from a bus stop and sold into sex trafficking? I remember the interview very well. The reporter was even crying because this baby’s vivid details about her many, graphic violations was near vomit-inducing. I felt so bad for her.
I saw a lot of Atlanta’s underbelly while dating this one security guard I worked with Grady. He was contracted at clubs, strip clubs, bars, private parties, etc. Magic City HAS to be in bed with Atlanta PD to somehow remain open after the stuff that goes on in there.
There’s just so much money exchanging very dirty hands as part of a city/state/global inside job. Some of those Hartsfield employees and contractors need to be shaken down. I remember there was always an off campus gig that promised a better life. Freshman and transfer students were ripe. I had classmates who stripped to pay their tuition. I saw flyers recruiting “models” for a swimsuit mag. I rented a room in a boarding house near the West End that was owned by a dirty cop. I came to find out: 1. He had 3 lookouts who lived there. 2. I was the only resident who wasn’t an addict. 3. Some people who I later found out were mules, were underage.
A LOT of professional ball players had some of the prettiest campus girls as side chicks who they put up pretty comfortably in some fancy Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Suwanee, or Buckhead condo. I had a fling with one of the air jockey’s at V-103 (no, not Frank or Griff) that told me some things I really didn’t want to hear. He was one of the radio personalities on the Fantastic Voyage TJ cruise and talked about the ship-wide orgy that was practically going on during the cruise.
I heard about the girls who were in relationships with married professors in exchange for stellar grades. I was their during the years when Ennis Cosby was murdered AND when that very high profile gang rape happened in that Morehouse dorm. Trust, it only made the national news because her father worked in Admissions at Spelman and raised hell. Dr. Johnetta Cole held a prayer vigil for her. Then a damn riot practically erupted after all 3 guys were basically given a slap on the wrist. They got kicked off their teams, was ordered to stay off of Spelman’s campus for one year, and something else. I forgot what. Shame.
Those first few years after Mayor Campbell shut down Freaknik were a mess because that typical Gold Rush spike in fast money Spring-time usually ushered in was no longer available. So the need to hustle that degree of surplus cash, even if only for one annual event, drove a lot of activities underground again. Forcible bondage such as homemade VHS porn, gang/fraternity/ransom initiations, escort services, you name it. Pimps, madames had to resume out of town traveling to recruit again because would-be victims weren’t readily crawling all over the A by the 1,000s like Freaknik crowds of the past. I saw a lot. I remember a lot.
I worked 3d shift at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Midtown. The guy who trained me would change a clean room to dirty in the system so I wouldn’t book it. Then he’d give a pimp or a John a clean sheet to throw over the made bed and tell them they have 1 hour. And not to touch anything except the sink. Then he’d pocket the money, check the room, and switch the room status back to clean. I often wondered if some of those ladies were consenting prostitutes or underage victims. My coworker told me I didn’t see nothing and I don’t know nothing. I said okay. That dude made a killing, especially with suite rentals.
I believe that raggedy hotel had 2. If we had a bachelor of some other party booked, he’d hand people a stack of towels and literally forbid me to go up there. Like the night one of Atlanta PD’s finest had his bachelor party up there. I don’t know what went on. BUT there were a lot of guests, pretty women, and what looked like bouncers went up. No one came out of that room FOR HOURS. The few who did were pissy drunk and reaked of a marijuana, beer, and cigarette stench.
Atlanta, GA is a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah.
The first time I was sexually assaulted was during my time in Atlanta. It was a visiting supervisor at the local Pizza Hut I used to work at on Campbleton Road in the West End. The one past Huddle House on the right. I’m not sure if it’s still there. Probably not. THEE ghetto-ist place ON EARTH to open a Pizza Hut. I won’t go into details, but I did change my mind and said I wanted to go to sleep. He laughed and told me to quit playing.
So I consented to sex just to get it over with so he would quit bugging me and I could finally go to sleep. BUT he’s well endowed and started getting rough. I SAID “STOP.” He ignored me and got rougher. I REPEATED “STOP! IT HURTS. GET OFF OF ME!” Again, he ignored me. He then locked me in his arms in a bear hug so I could no longer move AND SPED UP. I couldn’t go anywhere. We were at his friend’s house, with that man and his lady who were in their bedroom.
It had Armageddon snowed earlier that day and up til the evening some time. The streets were impassable. No buses were running. I didn’t even know the address to the house I was in, nor which part of Atlanta. I just had to shut up and stay there with him until morning when the ice melted a little.
His name is Kota. I don’t remember his last name. But he’s a tall, slender, light skin man. Taller than me and I’m 5’10, give or take. He was the company class clown with a goofy sense of humor, almost immature, you could say and cracked jokes the ENTIRE shift. He talked about his kid a lot and his ex. I don’t remember her name. But he said her nickname was “Lady” because she carried herself with so much class.
Kota said they had a one night stand too, and “We got 4 years and a beautiful baby out of that one night.” The only time he wasn’t being silly is when he talked about her. I could look in his eyes and tell that Lady was the one who got away. 15 years would go by before I uttered a word to anyone about how my temporary Pizza Hut supervisor violated me that night. I just told a girlfriend, not any authorities. MARTA wasn’t running anyway and Kota was my only ride back to my apartment.
He acted like nothing happened the next morning. He showered and got dressed, then started cracking jokes with his friend. Then he told me I was taking too long to scramble eggs.
This Keewa lady embodies so much strength and grace to have survived not an incident, but Years of brutality and emptiness. I aspire to one day rest in the stable, emotional wellness that she exhibits. Trust, I can relate. I was never trafficked, bus I still have flashbacks from years of childhood incest, PTSD from repeated sexual harassment and verbal abuse in my short-lived, NAVY career, and other abuses.
The shame one can harbor from an alphabet soup of mental illness diagnosis will burn a cave in your chest until it just becomes too burdensome to carry any longer. Surviving the healing process, therapy, meds, learning to trust and function normally again is all to real for me too.
None of this is easy. Getting better can make you crazy lol It’s like Otis’ mama said in the Temptation’s movie, “I was alright until they started curing me.”
It’s a good thing that Jesus is curing me now :)

Thank you AJ…. I know it’s not always easy to share such painful experiences with others. I want to let you know that you are heard and loved.
Thank you so much, you are helping others, take care Gail

My heart goes out to you!
My heart breaks for Every girl/woman/boy & man who's been victimized by morally reprehensible and bankrupt people.
The problem is so deeply entrenched in 'Society' that I don't see Anything - Ever Changing. 😢
I'm so happy you're on the road to healing, though. 💕
@@ajwriter5699
P.S. You write beautifully and are very eloquent.
Maybe your story (and the hundreds of thousands of others) can blast through Americas collective conscience of denial.
Be careful of 'The Church', too.
They're filled with Fake 'Pastors'& 'Preachers' who have Nothing to do with Jesus.

There must be a special hell for those who are doing such heinous crimes to children.
Here sits a woman that has earned her wings a hundred times over. Here sits a woman that is an example of true courage and grace. 💕
Thanks for the wonderful comments. Please share, share, share, my story and the stories of this channel as our communities need to be aware of these issues that affect humanity. I’m so grateful for Texas Pictures…they get it!!!
your life story shows such strength. Underneath all of this, you carry so much strength and determination. I see you and you are loved. Thank you for sharing.
The way you tell your story iz amazing, you are beautifully soulful and I am so glad you are free. I wish you all the love in the world
Thank you for having the courage to share your story. It will make a difference! 🏍🇺🇸🎒
God is with you and for you. Multiplied blessings to you! ❤
WOW! Just wow! Thank you for telling your story. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be so honest.
You literally jumped from the fire into the frying pan as a young, neglected, frightened child. I believe you have & will save many lives with your honesty and faith. I can't thank you enough for sharing your incredible story. THANK YOU, beautiful woman, for standing up against & exposing evil.
You are amazing. May God bless you, Keeya & your family. ❤️ 🙏❤️
I survived abuse and had low self esteem too. God and the holy spirit got me out of so many messes that I could have been killed. I live in Huntsville Texas and I’m a supporter of our local Saafe house. I tell my story I’m no longer ashamed. I’m also engaged to a man who knows my past and is a great supporter when it comes to my mental health. Your a beautiful woman and thank you for sharing your healing story!
Congratulations on your survival! You should reach out to Texas Pictures and share! 😉There are so many who need to hear what you escaped from! I salute you!❤
I grew up in a strict religious environment. I’m a survivor of various abuses, low self esteem and suicidal tendencies. As a result, ended up marrying a preacher who was abusive as well. I told my late preacher father what was happening, he told me to stay there bc my ex husband wasn’t beating me. I continued to be there. One day, it got to a point I wouldn’t take it anymore, ask the good Lord for help. Yes He provided finances n a way of escape for my children and I. Well once I divorced him, my family, his and the church ostracized and shunned me for many years. But I’m very happy I overcame the pain and suffering. Today, my children and I amidst all the spoken negativity we’re successful. This young woman was so bold to share her story without breaking down in the process. I admire her for her courage. God bless her in all that she does in life. Thank the Lord, He reconnected to her brother n his family who helped her through the process. I’m joyful in her testimony. I wrote my testimony “Reborn” which it encouraged others to live their best life despite trauma. God is able.
💐
@@WAMOEMinistries yes! He is able🙏🏿
HalleluYAH 😊 God is so good!
You broke the cycle of generational trauma. You changed the history of your children and their future children.
God did really
what a BEAUTIFUL comment ❤️
Best comment by far, and exactly my sentiment!
I met her coming back from Georgia on my way to California. We sat next to each other on the plane ride home. I think that she is a wonderful lady, and I was speechless hearing her telling me her story. By the time we landed I was on my phone ordering her book from my Amazon app. I haven't been able to put her book down since I got it. If you want to know what happens in this country everyday but; people just don't talk about it, and it's still considered a "Taboo" topic for a lot of people. I would definitely suggest that you read this book, it's an "eye opener" to say the least. She delivers an absolutely impactful, and powerful story! 🧐
What the name of her book 📖 🤔
@@sonjicraig1724 "One Thousand Elsewhere: A True Survivor Story" on Paperback - December 14, 2021.
Wow . How amazing that you met her. I am only a little ways in but I am so impressed by her . ❤
I am a mother of two teenage daughters- thank you for being brave and baring your soul. Glad you overcame the darkness.
Still overcoming! Thanks and I pray for you & your daughter’s safety!
This is gut-wrenching. Makes me wish I were sitting next to her 16-year old self on that plane and could offer her a hug and a safe place to stay….❤️
This is most definitely human trafficking as the definition is not one size fits all. The people saying it isn’t need to educate themselves some more. They also need to educate themselves on brain development. I’m glad she shared her story. It’s important to see the layers of human trafficking in this country. May she continue down a positive and blessed path.
Indeed! Amen particularly concerning brain development because at 16 our brain are not fully developed and to think that some low-life men and more so women took advantage of a child in dire need of help behooves me, makes me shiver.
Q
This lady is very well spoken despite all she has been through which i find incredible! Keep your head up you are alive to share this story for a reason! thank you for this story
🥹Thanks for your kindness!❤️
Queen it’s only the grace of God! 💃🏽
That's the thought process that she is trying to make a point to prove; she is articulate then, now, and tomorrow. Human trafficking is not what you think it looks like, or Talks like. We have to keep an open mind about everything
@@claudiaargueta3767 Indeed we do! 🫶🏽
Remember she was highly intelligent and well spoken before her abuse too, that’s why
This lady is truly phenomenal and inspiring! She does not realize God is using her to save so many others!! God is blessing her. Ppl want truth, transparency and hope!!
Yes for sure she is being used by Spirit!
It’s so sick how it’s big name people that are involved in this as well. This is so sad
She's so exquisite, inside and out!!! 💝
💝🥰
Isn’t it a shame that not ONE of those men or even young men had the decency to say, how can I help without taking advantage of you. 😢
Also, isn’t it something that the more control you exert over yourself, the more others won’t try to get over on you. Meaning, while she had no control, people took full advantage of her, but when she decided she was going to take control of herself, that is when she started gaining some kind of respect from herself and from others.
Message… Never loose sight of who you are & always remain in control of you. ❤ God Bless Everyone Woman or Girl Going Through Being Mistreated. Please Remember To Love & Respect Yourself.
People will treat you how you allow them to. ❤🙏🏽
Thank you for taking your story! Ppl don't understand that it's in America more then what ppl think. I was trafficked for 2yrs by the county commissioner in my hometown. I've been with an anti trafficking organization for almost 4yrs now. We are thrivers! Much love❤
This story needs to be told and shared with young women
It's alot of people uneducated I beat it in Cali and I was beat it in Atlanta hell being younger than what I am now. Getting education and etc not even being in the wrong place at the wrong time. People are just evil and money hungry. I agree with you on your comments
It does, for SO many reasons. I have a wealthy friend who complains about her life constantly (after she tells me she just had a massage, got botox, and went to a spa). She makes up problems for herself because she doesn't have to work and is so bored that she has to create drama. People like that need to watch videos like this so they can get in touch with reality. I also have a friend who is in a very abusive relationship who thinks she has absolutely nowhere to go, so much so that she sends me pictures that she wants to have shown at her funeral. She needs to see videos like this, because she needs to see that there is hope and there is help.
Thank you for sharing your story on multiple platforms. I also had a mental breakdown in my early 20’s. My son was 3 years old at the time. The wanting to get hit by a car thing I can relate to. I even wanted to just walk out late at night wanting someone to harm me. I’m 35 now and I’m just now getting the help that I need. I held on as best I could. I’m very proud of myself and all survives.
I'm so moved by her story. She articulated everything in a way that had me entranced for 50 minutes, and her bravery in retelling her years of trauma, self-reflection and eventually recovery with forgiveness leading into advocacy have me wondering what I can do to contribute to fighting this never ending battle of abuse which in many instances is right in front of us. Thank you for being willing to tell your story!!!
Thank you, I'm 75 years old and suffered a similar experience when I was younger. I still suffer with shame and guilt. I wished I had gotten help.
you still can!!!!!!
Nothing ever becomes as beautiful as someone who owns their story!
God's love is a shield, lean into him!
God bless the micro steps!
My prayers are with victims and survivors of Human Trafficking.Amen.
I was kidnap in Minneapolis in Minnesota when I went to the clubs one night. I was being sold, he was negotiating the price when I tried to jump off the car on high way, that’s how I got away.
Blessings to you ❤️
Omg ..
This poor woman didn't have paternal protection and security at home so she was extra vulnerable. And the way that people act and abuse other people.... So sad how people forget that other people are also humans! Terrible. I am so sorry for her. I hope God will heal her.
Great observation and so accurate! Yes, I’m doing well these days! 😀
@@fast_traffick_report very nice to hear that. I really wish that God blesses you abundantly. Take care.
sadly domestic abuse strikes again 💔

This my story! Same thoughts, trauma, betrayal and survival. We are many. I turned to drugs to survive. Thank you for your powerful story and giving us a voice. We are empowering survivors by sharing there is a way out. We can heal, we can recover. Love heals.❤
She is a hero for speaking out. Her candor and self awareness are refreshing and eye opening. Every parent needs to watch this video. May God bless you and your family. And may God protect our vulnerable from these predators.

Keeya it's so important that brave lights like you speak out. Abusers target vulnerable children who, if abused can wrongly be discredited and do not have parental support. It's happening globally. Gloria Masters, (New Zealand), Brenda O'Hare, (England), and yourself to name only 3 who blow the whistle on what's happening on a large scale.
There are common themes with these stories and you should link up. It's time for ordinary people to mobilise on this issue. Well done Keeya for being so strong.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I appreciate stories like yours because it shows that there's not always a man in a windowless van kidnapping people, trafficking can literally happen in the blink of an eye to just about anyone. There are men that trick their girlfriends into trafficking, women who trick their friends into trafficking, parents who freely give up their children to trafficking... it goes on right under our noses every single day.
Very glad that you made it out and lived to tell your story ❤
Trafficking stories are hard for me to listen to but I feel that it is the least I can do is open my ears and just listen to what they have to say. Thank you for sharing. I know that these stories will help many people. God Bless You.
Sometimes people can be so severely damaged by life that there has to be rebuilding. Just like the Pheonix you rose above it all. Thank you for sharing your story🙏🙏🙏
She aged down! Gorgeous, Humble, Blessed & Anointed! Thank you for sharing your story, no matter what they did to you, they couldn't take away what God has blessed you with. His Love and his Light! God bless you! This story is an eye opener that many times trauma and pain allows us to help others who are going through what we have been through. As women, as people, we are all connected. It's time we stop fighting and judging each other and start uplifting each other. Like the wise folks say,' You never know what people are going through." I know God is able to restore, revive and provide. He's Able!
Thank you Queen!!! I’m glad to be at a place where I’m able to share with others. I’m filming content for those who want real solutions! The focus will be healthier lifestyles for survivors (private subscription) where I’ll do weekly lives).
She is SO lovely, so articulate, and she is a survivor! God Bless You for sharing your story.
This woman is so strong, resilient, amazing and inspirational. It's sick what happened to her - especially that it was done to her by financial elites in the entertainment industry.
That’s right she got back to the basics with God and her family. Stopped the old things, broke from bad relationship , then renewed her mind. Shared her testimony. Tell the truth, shame the devil. Beautiful. That’s the secret.
Beautiful young lady...so happy she made it out to tell her truth to other people. .... ❤
Thanks for calling me young…lol!
Who a abused her?
I see an articulate woman full of beauty, love, grace and dignity. Jesus gives us a beautiful robe of His righteousness.
I have to do more to heal myself as a woman and help other girls and women.
This is a crime that I believe should have the death penalty attached to it.
To sell another human being is awful. Traffickers and pimps are the lowest beings on this planet period.
I’m glad she made it
I was a military brat too. We moved every 12 months at least. I understand the always being the new kid and being bullied.
Thanks for watching my story. It definitely sucks. It does help me relate to and connect with bullied children. Pain is for a purpose.
Me too. Moving so often means you have no outside connections so it easier for the abuser to not be detected, especially back when children weren't taught about bad touching and to tell a trusted adult for help.
@@lorielizabethwade7505 Indeed!
I think we in America turn a blind eye to human trafficking. Not here in America. Thank you for speaking out. I don't think you should be ashamed, you had no control with what was happening.I feel so bad for you. Please continue to share. So many people are unaware of the circumstances you endured.You are right, life is difficult!You were seeking help but in all the wrong places.
I want to thank you for your bravery and speaking out. I am sending you a tight, sincere, an long hug. I will never forget you.
They HAVE to be stopped.
I admire you for your courage in telling your story in order to bring awareness to the prevalence of social media trafficking...

She seems so kindhearted. I'm so happy for her changing her life for the better.
This story made me cry. Tears of joy, hope & pain. I’m so glad that this woman was able to triumph. She is so brave for sharing her story. I wish they can turn this story into a movie
Awesome, Lady Keeya! Nothing that you have been through is wasted. God is using you mightily for His glory! Yes, you are brave!
You are a beautiful light in a world of darkness ♥️ Thank you
Thanks for your sweet words!🥰
wow, just wow. I love your articulate and detailed explanation of how human trafficking affected you and I do believe that your story in your own words will help countless others seeking a way out. One thing that stood out - is the shame - and overcompensating for that being almost as harmful as the abuse itself. Thanks so much sister - much respect to you and your strength and courage in speaking about this.
Not this is heartwrenching, and I just say you look so healthy and vibrant, that shows how far your spiritual progress has come. It’s amazing what angels were watching over you all this time and still today.
She is so well spoken, I feel like she would be able to write an amazing book about this.
I just saw the movie "Sound of Freedom" today and now I'm seeing your video. That movie sent me through a range of emotions. I cried through the first 30 to 45 minutes and then some. I did not realize the extent to which sex trafficking occurs around the world. I left that movie wanting to take action, wanting to DO something!!! I will be researching ways I can help end sex trafficking permanently after seeing that movie. I applaud you for the courage to tell your story. More of these stories need to be told. Prayerfully record producers like the one who took advantage of you will be exposed one day, and everyone else who assulted you at that time will be exposed and punished also. You are an overcomer and such an inspiration. Keep telling your story sister. God bless you! ❤🙏🏽✊🏽👊🏽.
More people need to speak out. It is such an amazing thing to hear peoples experience and can help others with their stories. Specially the ones who don’t want to voice their story. Not everyone can come out to tell what happened. But we all can feel the power behind the stories, especially if you can relate to some. Thank you for being brave and having the strength to help others with your story 👏🏻 💪🏼
Thank you for sharing your story. I pray it will cause many others to be free! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen! For many more women, men and children to be set FREE!
Wow… Most of Keeya’s testimony is so parallel to mine…l didn’t realized I was trafficked, no one talked about this in the late 70-80’s. I later was briefly a human trafficking advocate and then stopped - I felt shame because I was an adult not a child when it happen to me. I know I was not to blame; childhood trauma followed me most of my life. But, it was still hard to face the feeling of; I should have known better…
Horrible people who do this things to a 16th year old child. You are so brave. God bless you
Powerful story!!!!! Wish I could give you a huge hug. I’ll bet I’m not the only person who cried .❤
This woman's story is heartbreaking yet inspiring.
My beautiful sister, I'm truly sorry you had to go through what you have. I thank you for sharing your story, but you are not a victim. You are a Victor. You have been through hell and back, but you have walked away stronger than most. You have given me hope that I can overcome the things I have been through myself. God bless you, your brother, and your whole family. ❤❤
I truly believe that you survived because you have a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing your story. Blessings to you always 🙏 💛.
Thank you for your gracious story. It was so well verbalized. I sat here with tears rolling down my face thinking how your story mirrors my own. It's not only trafficking it's also human abuse within the home as you experienced. You are a beautiful, strong soul! Thank you again. And yes, you made it! 🙏
Your story has touched my heart 💜
Thank you for sharing your story with the world, you are very brave, and I am so happy that you now realize that in yourself! What a strong woman you are.

I can't even find the words to express how much this specific interview touches my soul, I relate so much with my own life... may God bless you ma'am and all who struggle with afflictions and trauma in this life!
❤
Keeya you are amazing. Your ability to express yourself is a gift you share with all of us. Thank you and love....
Thank you Keeya Vawar for sharing something so private and personal so that it may help another young woman or man, because these stories help everyone! Thank you.
Keeya❤... Thank you for being you and staying alive.. you shine brilliantly, courageously, meticulously, lovingly and so beautifully!! Is there a way that I can provide mental/physical healing for your organization, please? I have been trying to coordinate with survivors to no avail. You have a beautiful family ❤ please take excellent care 🙏
Beautiful inside and out. God doesn't do terrible things, but He brings us through, helps us find ourselves again, grow strong, and then He turns us loose like soldiers to help others. What a message of hope. Thank you.
So brave. My heart is wrecked for her pain. Prayers of thankfulness that she has found her way ❤🙏❤️❣️🙏❤️
Wow, what a heartfelt and powerful testimony! Keeya, you have inspired and given hope to many who have been or are currently going through this difficult journey. Only God's grace has allowed you to help others through your experiences. May God bless you and keep you!
You are very brave thank you for sharing your story with us. I didn’t realize the magnitude of Trafficking in America.
What a beautiful lady. Lord bless.
Awe! Thank youuuu 😊
Thank God, that she is still here to tell you story.🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a heart-powerful story. Her journey and fortitude is inspiring.
Thank you! I’m grateful for the fact that you were inspired!
My heart goes out to this amazing young lady. You would never guess what she has been through. She is beautiful and classy, and very well spoken. She didn't give up!! Such an inspiration how she pressed forward no matter what. God bless her!!
Thank you so much for sharing. You are so brave. You are saving lives by sharing your testimony. God bless you. ❤
I clicked on this video. Curious...curious to know what does traficking look like in the USA. As you shared, I found myself identifying so much with you. My story...not going to get into it...but I identify. Then I found myself ANGRY!!! Angry...about what you had to go through in your household. Angry about the MANY people who took advantage of your pain. Angry about the mental health system ...I have a Loved One diagnosed with SZ and he was bullied , had anxiety, grew up in alcoholic rageful household with a mom who tried to hold the mess together (that would be me) and now he suffers so much....Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for helping so many. Thank you for sharing the hope in Jesus Christ...You are on the other side and I needed to see this today. God bless you.
Me Keeya,you are the VERY DEFINITION of what a strong,beautiful,vulnerable,cape and inspirational soul is. You've done more than just 'survived ', you've won. And so glad your still apart of this 🌎 we all live in. God bless you and your beautiful family. Much 💘
What a beautiful testimony! ❤❤
She definitely doesn't look like or sound like what she's been through. I'm glad I watched the whole thing.
Wow! Just wow!
I also grew up going to many schools, checkerboarding about the country! I was exposed to the entertainment industry through my step father’s career!!
Fortunately, no one drank or did drugs! Fortunately, I was beyond my years and intellectually savvy, combined with a personal sense of self empowerment!
Much respect for you sister friend! You are a superhero in so many ways! Your children surely must be blown away on a regular to realize the gift that they have received in your being their very own MOM!
Hugs and Love‼️
Thank you for being so brave. This is a great service to humanity. Linda
I see the peace of God on your face. Keep being honest. Your not the only one who was hiding in the church. So many of us church folks are hurting and hiding. You are helping the victims of sex trafficking and the church. Thank God for your being able to be transparent. God heals thru being unveiled....
Yes ma’am! The more I open my mouth, the more people I meet who have stories that make mine pale in comparison. All up in the church! Brokenness has no boundaries. It’s cross cultural. Human trafficking is a human rights issue make no mistake about it!
It always amazes me how the people being trafficked withhold the names of celebrities. I wonder how many other children have been trafficked by these same celebrities. I've experienced abuse. I told. I don't like that these celebrities get to stay anonymous and protected. Leave that part out of the story if you're not going to name the abusers!
Are you serious? Have you forgotten what happened to Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, think about it.
Jeffrey Epstein is probably in Egypt, right now, living his best life! He was never going to tell anyone anything.@@sparklesp9304
Yes tell now is the time. Don’t let us continue to support these monsters
You could do yur own sleuthing. She said the abusive music producer in the 90’s put her in some music videos. Since you know her name you may find the videos then you can figure out the producer.
Right . Please expose these terrible abusers !!!!
The beauty in the pain of your story wow. Thank you for sharing it. There is so many of us who later in life realize that the guilt they feel isn’t warranted, and should be a guilt of an adult that took advantage of a young persons naïve, thinking. You make every victim feel heard by your own experience. ♥️
Wow i was wondering what drew me to this video and why ur story felt so intriguing to me... then u mention Elizabeth NJ and Newark NJ and im like WOW 🤯🤯🤯 I'm from Newark NJ andci experienced the sex work industry in Elizabeth NJ on Highway 1&9
I'm glad you got out and gained a hold of your life and was able to heal. May God continue to bless you
Thank you for sharing what has to be a most difficult history. I'm sure you understand none of this is your fault...you are not to blame. You were an innocent kid trying to survive. I'm thankful you did! I will do my best to share your story so hopefully it will help at least one other young lady out there. Be proud of your internal strength and will to survive. You are so well spoken, obviously educated and a sincere person. God bless you!
God bless you. You’re an amazing human being. Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much! I pray that my story will cause those who feel like there is nothing left that what left is the breath in their bodies. That’s enough for God to use to restore and bring healing. I’m a living witness!!!
Wow… This woman story is
So Moving ! I can’t believe adult men do this to young girls. Parents… please protect your children please please.
You are an amazing, beautiful, strong woman. I am so proud of you for rising above and taking a stand and letting your voice be heard. God bless and keep you. ❤
I just want to give her a hug so bad. I’m so sorry she went through that horrible experience. Those men saw her need and desperation and took advantage of her. But, what the devil meant for evil God has turnt around for good. God is using her pain to help others! Praise God! Hallelujah! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you Jesus Christ for helping her and using all the people you use to get her to were she needed to be.
Wow, the part when she said "I was waiting for someone to see that there was more than met the eye" got me.😓 That's true hope & strength. To know you're capable & seek better is strong. To keep looking is hope. These kinds of videos are so important to providing a clear view of a life some may never see, but need to know about. ☮️
I felt that part too!
Thank you soooo much for sharing your story. You have no idea how you have blessed me. You will never know how much this means to so many. God bless you for having the courage to share. ❤️❤️❤️
My dear I’m so happy you’ve overcome and shared and helped! Im you and their me THX! Childhood trauma and mental illness are linked to so much shame and self destruction… 🙏🏾
You are truly a remarkable women. You are doing valuable work by sharing your story. I think the false feeling of this can never happen in my family has to be made aware to everyone. You are helping by having the strength to share your story, thank you!
