ENDORSEMENTS~
Endorsement Letter from Rebecca (click here to read)
Rebecca McDonald
Founder & President of Women At Risk, International
“I had the privilege of attending a session led by Liz Midkiff, where she taught my youth group about human trafficking. Liz was incredibly creative and managed to fully engage both the teens and adults present. Through her dynamic teaching, we gained a understanding of human trafficking, learned to identify warning signs, and discovered practical ways for teens to support friends who might be at risk. Liz’s expertise and engaging approach made a impact on all of us. I highly recommend her for any educational program on this important issue.”
Rev. David Starkey
Pine Meadows Wesleyan Church
ABOUT~
Liz’s first hand experience with human trafficking in the USA and abroad has made her a sought after teacher on this subject. For the past 20 years Liz has been educating parents, medical employees, social workers, teachers, adults, and kids on human trafficking. As a WAR, Int’l Ambassador Liz also carries a large presence on social media and promotes the items our survivor artisans make from our WAR Chest Boutique. Liz doesn’t sugar coat human trafficking and she prides herself on giving you fresh insight and real life examples so you feel empowered to join the fight. During her time being trafficked, writing poetry was one way she stayed sane. Now wanting to bring that gut wrenching emotion to life she continues to write as she continues to share her story and bring light to the darkness.
