Lexie SmitH
Lexie is a young professional that pulls from a lifetime of hardship. Sexual abuse was a norm for her from toddler years and created a deep vulnerability for sex traffickers. From the age of 10-12, she was sold for sex just doors down from her grandmother's in the bedroom of the teenager the family had taken in.
Lexie shares her story of growing up exploited in the middle class despite a stable home. She discusses what it was like to not be believed and the effects of child abuse, exploitation, and trafficking on the mind, body, Spirit, and how to best come alongside survivors to promote restoration. Lexie facilitates an interactive session to help listeners identify gaps in resources and the logistics of addressing human trafficking, assisting victims, and narrowing their focus. Lexie offers survivor input on their project, program, and practices.
