A Survivor's Voice: Kachia Phillips on 22 Years of Trafficking, Faith, and Finding Hope

Host Dora Sherry welcomes Kachia Phillips, a powerful voice and champion for survivors in the movement against sex trafficking. Kachia bravely shares her incredible 22-year journey in human trafficking, which began when she was just seventeen years old, and the concurrent battle with addiction that followed. She recounts how her "Damascus encounter"—an arrest that led to a powerful spiritual experience—fueled her recovery and deliverance, giving her a new purpose. Kachia now serves as a case manager at Hub of Hope, a Northwest Arkansas nonprofit that works directly with adult survivors of human trafficking. She discusses her work providing resources, creating life plans for women, and advocating within the justice system for survivors facing forced criminality charges. This essential conversation also highlights the signs of trafficking and misconceptions about its prevalence in the United States.
