Becoming an Upstander: Ashlie Bryant's Fight Against Human Trafficking

Prevention is a vital solution to combat the crime of human trafficking. Prevention = Hope for us and those we serve.
What does it mean to truly stand up against human trafficking? In this episode of 'Love&BLoved', host Lena Cebula sits down with Ashlie Bryant, the visionary behind 3Strands Global Foundation. Ashlie’s journey from witnessing a trafficking incident in California to founding an organization that’s transforming lives is nothing short of inspiring. Ashlie shares how prevention is the cornerstone of combating human trafficking.
She talks about her groundbreaking work with the PROTECT curriculum, which has educated over half a million youth and 80,000 adults across several states and countries. Her foundation’s direct services program, Employ + Empower, has also placed hundreds of survivors and at-risk youth into sustainable jobs. Throughout the conversation, Ashlie emphasizes the importance of being an upstander rather than a bystander. She offers practical advice on recognizing the signs of trafficking and taking meaningful action.
Misconceptions about human trafficking are also addressed, shedding light on the reality of this crime both in the US and globally. The episode wraps up on a hopeful note, highlighting the importance of self-love and finding purpose after trauma. Ashlie’s insights into trauma-informed care and workforce development underscore the power of community and collaboration in helping survivors rebuild their lives. This episode is a compelling call to action for anyone looking to make a difference.
It’s a must-listen for those who believe in the power of prevention, hope, and empowerment.
