Prostitution has been nicknamed the "world's oldest profession" for some time now. While I always knew that that was going on in the United States, up until a recent event on March 28, I was unaware that prostitution wasn't always by choice. Of course I was aware that prostitution may be looked at as a means of survival, but I had no idea of the modern-day slavery equivalent of it due to sex trafficking. Call me naive, but I'd always thought of this is as a third-world concern.
After speaking at the Christopher Lavell Jones Foundation's annual fundraiser event, I was asked to speak again to raise money for sex trafficking victims. On March 28, at Seventh Avenue Baptist Church located at 1740 7th Avenue in Oakland, I did just that with members of Respecting Our Young African Americans & Latinos (ROYALs).
