THINGS SURVIVORS WISH YOU KNEW

A DRESSEMBER PODCAST

EPISODE 8: Chris ASh & Dunia Zelaya

Chris Ash is the Survivor Leadership Program Manager at CAST-LA, and Dunia Zelaya is a community leader who uses her experiences to connect with others and advocate for change. Both people bring hope, energy, and graciously bold encouragement to our conversation about what a good model for trafficking rehabilitation services could look like.

Because human trafficking is a heavy topic, please practice self-care before, during, and after listening to this podcast. Pause the show if you need to. We will be here when you are ready! If you suspect you or someone else is in a trafficking situation, please call 1 (888) 373-7888 or text 233733.

Chris and Dunia are leaders who have chosen to use their experience to inform aftercare practices for survivors of human trafficking. They have a way of correcting an unhelpful situation that leaves shame at the door and encourages listeners to do better for the survivors they are trying to help. We think you will be so glad you listened to this episode!
