Guest 2 Overview: Andrea Powell grew up in a small Texas town and was a survivor of sexual violence as a teenage girl. As a student in Germany on a foreign exchange program, she met a young woman who was a domestic labor trafficking victim enslaved by her husband. Andrea searched for her friend after she disappeared but was ultimately unable to find her. This sparked a lifelong passion for supporting victims of traffickers and abusers. In 2001, after graduating with a Master’s in European Union Law and Economics from the University of Bonn, Germany, Andrea founded FAIR Girls to support young women and girls who have survived human trafficking. During the next fourteen years, and after relocating to Washington, D.C., Andrea led FAIR Girls in creating the Vida Home, a safe home for young women survivors of human trafficking. She worked with survivors and advocates to create outreach programs and to advocate for justice for survivors. In 2019, Andrea founded Karana Rising to advocate for systemic change to ensure survivors of sex trafficking are not wrongfully arrested and incarcerated because of their own trafficking and abuse. Andrea believes in a life where doing good in the world is about placing kindness at the center of everything we do. In addition to her advocacy work and writing, she is a poet, multimedia artist, and mom to one human girl and one rabbit girl. You can find her writing in cafes and on the beaches in Encinitas, California.
