Sex Trafficking. Did Some vision of Liam Nissan's Taken, or images of children in third world countries being sold come to mind when you read the words "sex trafficking"? If so, you're not wrong; however, in reality, many cases of sex trafficking don't occur as those depicted in the movies. A large number of cases occur right here in the U.S. and many aren't as dramatic. In this episode of Going Through It, sex trafficking survivor, L. Rodgers, recounts her story of being trafficked in one of America's most famous cities, New York City. L is an Americana/Soul Singer, songwriter, former American Idol contestant, and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. When she left Baltimore at 21 to make her broadway dreams a reality in the Big Apple, she had no idea her dreams would be stolen from her and her main focus would become survival.  L's story is one of endurance, bravery, and resilience. She shares her experiences through her music and appearances, in hopes of helping other survivors cope or preventing women from becoming sex trafficking victims.   Follow L.
