Brenna got started when she began raising a raped child, looking for resources was daunting. Our family barely survived six years of the offender on bail through multiple breaches. Now Brenna connects Survivors and resources all over the world. As a Survivor Brenna is passionate about changing the Struggles faced by Victims of trafficking. She offers Trainings and Consultations as the only Openly autistic Survivor of Human Trafficking.

Within Four hours Brenna had an official Invitation to attend. Only Thirty people from around the world were in the first training, with two more anticipated by the end of 2022.

Eight years after escaping Brenna was forced to confront her own past to teach her hurt child how to move on the right way. With Acceptance and a fair bit of arguing, that hurt child graduated on time having only missed two months of school. Being forced to face her hidden past made Brenna realize that if she wanted things to change, that she would become the Pheonix and rise from the ashes and make sure that what happened to her is stopped from happening to someone else. Brenna has experience with what can go wrong with reporting trafficking, and how victims are missed, gives her personal experience to utilize in educating Law Enforcement. Being a child who was missed by the child welfare system, was missed as a trafficked adult by child and family services, with a social worker giving Brenna's Trafficker the ability and assistance with depriving her of her children. And as the parent of a raped stepchild spearheading the investigation into her child's case. Allows her to teach social services from three backgrounds at the same time.
