She is a millennial passionate about sowing seeds of worth, hope, and purpose after living a hidden double life riddled with sexual abuse and exploitation. From the outside looking in, Lexie grew up and lived in a stable, faith filled, middle class home. Yet sexual abuse at the hands of relatives primed her for an adolescent trafficker who would exploit and sell her at convenience from the ages of 10 -12. Threatened, she never told a soul out of fear of what might happen not only to her, but the people she loved most. Since then, she has broken the chains of silence in effort to help others break their own.
Lexie first began sharing her story of redemption from childhood exploitation and trafficking in 2011 with middle and high school students as a part of a school assembly program as a form of prevention. She has spoken to over 40,000 students and shared the platform of well known leaders such as Mrs. McCain and Governor Chris Christie as a part of Super Bowl outreach efforts.
Since then her expertise has been utilized by schools, youth groups, law enforcement, teachers, parents, Churches, and communities as a whole. Lexie believes that in order to combat modern day slavery, each person must play their part. Wether that is a parent becoming educated on trafficking tactics and technology trends, training your staff in your small business on red flags, or learning how to interview a victim to increase case success as a law enforcement officer everyone has a part to play. Lexie resides in Nashville, TN as a local advocate for survivors regularly teaming up with law enforcement as support and trainer.
