S4 E6 | SURVIVOR WISDOM: Elise Gill

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we can think of no better way to celebrate the remarkable resilience and impact women have made on history than by bringing to center the voice of Elise and her survivor wisdom! Elise’s journey speaks to what so many survivors of trafficking face: the recognition of their exploitation and trafficking months, perhaps YEARS after they’ve left. She also speaks to the generous love and forgiveness that she has found not only for herself, but for those who have harmed her. 

THIS is miraculous and divine, a work done by the Spirit but in corporation with her very human heart.

After graduating ACCESS, Elise navigated jobs, school and now finds herself in seminary for Biblical Counseling!  She also serves as an victim advocate for our partner organization, UnBound. 

What a remarkable rise to self actualization.

This is what International Women’s Day is all about!

All the LOVE!
