Hey! I’m Khalila.

 

I am a believer of Jesus Christ, a wife, a mother, an author, a keynote speaker and educator and a survivor of human trafficking.

I have been a strong advocate in the fight against human trafficking since 2020, and just like every survivor, I bring a unique, specific perspective on the issue and my personal story has influenced the work I do. In my years since leaving “the life”, I’ve gained experience and education working in the anti-trafficking field to help others leave exploitation and to educate communities and professionals on this subject.

I have worked as a residential technician and a case manager, with several organizations such as Hope Center Indy and The Salvation Army in the Greater Cincinnati Anti-Human Trafficking Division. Currently I serve  as a Board Member on the Survivor Advisory Council for the Collaborative to End Human Trafficking, representing the Northeast Ohio Region, I am a member of Survivor Alliance  and I am an Advocate with Empty Frames Initiative. 

I am passionate about educating communities and helping others find freedom from human trafficking. I believe that we all share a responsibility in the fight to do what we can to eradicate this and bring healing to those that are both free and still entrapped.
 
My long term goal is to establish a refuge for children, young girls, and women that are victims and survivors of human trafficking, with the intention of global outreach for this international need.

I’m excited to partner with you in the fight for freedom from modern day slavery!
