A Message from Marisol
As an actor, I’m fortunate to have worked on several hit TV & Film projects, and I feel it’s my honor and privilege to use my acting skills to help put an end to the nightmares that these women & children endure. As someone who’s been given so much love by so many fans, it is my duty to pay it forward and give a voice to those unheard. I live by the belief that Human Rights abuses in all forms are simply not acceptable and should never be tolerated. The fact that I was given the chance to make a difference is humbling, and I am eternally grateful.
I’m well aware that I’m one of the lucky ones and I want to use my story and this podcast as a platform to educate and protect our youth and provide a voice to victims & survivors. My goal is for you to be inspired and empowered so that you too can join me and help make a difference.
Thank you for listening and thank you for supporting the fight to end human trafficking.
With sincere gratitude,
Marisol Nichols
