In episode 249, I speak with inspiring counter human trafficking CEO and hope restorer, Jennisue Jessen. Jennisue, a survivor of human trafficking and Founder & CEO of Compass 31, has dedicated over 25 years to combating human trafficking globally. Her remarkable journey, from being sold into the sex trade at the age of 4 to becoming a key figure in shaping federal counter-trafficking policies, reflects her passion for justice and resilience. As the force behind Echoes of Eden Collective, a socially-conscious luxury skincare line, Jennisue channels proceeds to support her charitable initiatives, making her an inspiring advocate for transformation and triumph over trauma. Her last piece of advice, for every person, is to slow down to the speed of love.
With over 25 years of personal experience and professional involvement in the counter-trafficking movement, Jennisue Jessen has gathered intimate knowledge of the depths of trauma survivors endure. Having been sold into the sex trade at a very young age, she has seen the darkest corners of humanity.
However, rather than letting those experiences define her, they have ignited a passion within her to contribute to cultural and systemic change in this sphere. At Compass31, hearts break for those who have been victimized by human trafficking, and Jennisue and her team firmly believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual.
Her mission is to fight this crime through prevention, restoration, and leadership development. She aims to offer transformative hope and healing to those trafficked for sex or labor and prevent this crime from perpetuating through our global education initiatives. In this conversation Jennisue is real and raw and I firmly believe that this conversation and approach to addressing human trafficking from a place of faith and resilience could provide an enlightening perspective to all who listen.
This is a powerful and inspiring conversation which will help you look at things from a different perspective and, slow down to the speed of love.
