I was so happy that the Human Trafficking Prevention event that we hosted was a big success! We had an extraordinary panel of women who are on the forefront of fighting Human Trafficking in California. The S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls gave a grant to the wonderful nonprofit, Saving Innocence, which helps women and girls who have been the victims of human trafficking. We chose our partners with great care and this is a very worthy organization. Our event was sponsored by the Ford Fund. #EmpoweringGirls #SavingLives
Thank you to KNBC for having me on to discuss the Human Trafficking Prevention event that the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls hosted and sponsored by Ford Fund.
I just saw this very nice cover story that L.A. Watts Times did on the work that the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls is doing to bring awareness to the issue of Human Trafficking.

I have had the honor of meeting President Barack Obama on three occasions - first, in 2006 at Oprah's Legends Ball when he was a Senator; the second, in 2007, at Oprah's Santa Monica home when she threw a huge dinner reception for him when he was running for President; and the third time was at the home of actress Gwenyth Paltrow when she held a fundraising reception for the then-President (below right).
