Surviving a Decade of Human Trafficking | Angel Power

Angel Power was groomed by her father's friend, trafficked for nearly a decade, and told by everyone around her that she was safe. She wasn't. This is her story of survival, reclaiming her voice, and turning darkness into purpose.In this episode of Behind the Village, Angel shares the reality of how human trafficking happens in ways most people don't expect. Not by force or at gunpoint, but through trust, unmet needs, and a system that failed her at every turn. She talks about writing her way out of the pain, reframing survivor's guilt into survivor's responsibility, and why long-term support for survivors matters just as much as getting them out. If you've ever wondered what trafficking actually looks like in small-town Canada, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew.Who are weBehind the Village is a podcast about how to live a life worth living.
