TEDx: OUR STORY

“Something that started as a simple idea became a global movement that created a pathway for not just me, but thousands of women to put a stop to one of the greatest injustices of our time. ”

Joseph is an anti trafficking activist who believes in freeing others from a life of pain and bringing a voice to the voiceless. He participated in Dressember last year and posted every day as a way of sharing about Dressember (and all the ties he wore!). Male advocates are so important to our cause, showing that #realmendontbuygirls.

Our answer: It's easy to get discouraged when the people around you don't acknowledge what you're doing. Sometimes it takes you making the first move and starting the conversation. Here are a few tips and tricks to help:
1) Wear a pin!
2) Take any compliment on your outfit as an opportunity to start a conversation.
3) Tell your community ahead of time what you're doing then continue to remind them over social media and in person.

Remember that you're doing this for a good cause. Every conversation and every dollar raised is an important step toward a world without slavery. It might require you getting out of your comfort zone, but that's part of the challenge! Find more tips today on the blog!

Disney bloggers and #Dressember advocates Courtney ( @libraryladylife ) and Ashley ( @shebounds ) are sprinkling some pixie dust on this year’s #Dressember campaign. These ladies connected through their love of Disneybounding [ie. dressing up in DIY costumes inspired by Disney characters]. Courtney shares, "I have been disneybounding for a couple of years now, and my favorite part has been the disneybounding community! It is such an uplifting, positive group! Last year when I participated in Dressember, I kept thinking about how fun it would be to join together as disneybounders and raise awareness about human trafficking within the community and beyond! We are so much stronger together, and I am setting a high goal that I believe we can meet if we work as a team!" Ears to you ladies!
