- The International Labor Organization estimates that 5 million children at this moment are caught up in human trafficking. Trafficking takes place when someone’s vulnerability is exploited for profit. January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Knowing your own vulnerabilities and supporting others is something you can do to prevent trafficking. Learn more about what you can do at love146.org/pre...

"you may be fractured but unlike a fraction you cannot be reduced"
I love that she isnt afraid to be vulnerable in such a distant invulnerable world. In such a fake world. Her experiences are the sun peeking through on a cloudy day.
“Shut up and be happy somebody wants you” hit different. Survivor here, this is extremely touching and beautiful.
Many years felt worthless due to the trauma, still struggle today but I take it day by day and with the help of the Lord.
Thank you for this ❤️
Black poetry is so underrated
emzy166 Poetry knows no race!
@@eva-mariawagner5672 The people who have historically controlled the publishing and spread of poetry most certainly did know race. There is a solid relationship between whose art has been remembered and who has been in power. Just because that relationship might not have affected you or your ancestors doesn't mean it isn't real.
@@VironikaTugalevano one is disagreeing with that however why must everting need to be seen through the lens of race
A South African fan 2020 I just love her poetry
Wishing I could like this a thousand times. Been a fan of Alyssia for years since I discovered her and the Strivers Row crew back then. I keep coming back to this and her other works that have been immortalised on this platform, wishing I had the words to express all that is in my heart, and grateful there is atleast someone who does.
This poem scorches me deeply as I feel every word spoken...breathe.
Your soul is not damaged goods, don’t count your past against you a few mistakes just gives your skin that human hue, that hue that says I’ve been put into dark places but did not stay there! 🙏🏾🙏🏾✨💕
my favorite poet! she never fails to give me chills 😫❤💪

Such a beautiful poem! Made me cry to realize how broken this world really is that people would sell our children for other people's pleasure. I want to help stop this once and for all. I want all of you out there who this has happen to know that your not alone and that you deserve so much more. You are so beautiful and loved by the one who is bigger than this world.
