Lessons From Our Trauma and Healing Journey
Surviving multigenerational trafficking and finding healing through advocacy and Jesus
Our Mission
At Two Survivors, we aim to inspire educate and empower communities and individuals by sharing our personal stories of resilience via our blog. Our platform is dedicated to bringing awareness to Human Trafficking and the lasting impact it has on us not only as a victims and survivors who are finding our way but also for the community as a whole. We will also share our personal thoughts, experiences, and opinions as to what was and was not helpful from the services we received from various sources across the U.S. with the hope that others will learn how to appropriately offer support without causing more harm. It is an unfortunate fact that there are many organizations and folks out there claiming to offer hope and a way out, but somehow, they end up causing more hurt and trauma to the very people they claim to be fighting for. We share our journey and lived experience to educate others. We stand in solidarity with others who have faced challenges and emerged stronger.

About our Team
Evy H. North Dakota based Subject Matter Expert who has provided advocacy and training to many disciplines including victim service providers, law enforcement, medical providers, faith-based organizations, and educational professionals.
Evy leads by example and is always seeking out ways to meet the needs of her surrounding community, seeing what many can’t or won’t. Evy is always seeking ways to assist in providing and finding access to harm reduction materials, medical care, food, toiletries and Bibles. She prays with them and for them. Evy is proactive in building trust. Establishing a rapport based on honesty and transparency and accountability. She reminds those she serves that they are worthy of dignity, love, respect, and that they matter. She speaks life into and over them. Evy contributes to the anti-trafficking field with experiences as both a child and adult survivor of trafficking. She is also the parent of a (male) survivor, which allows Evy a unique perspective in her advocacy ability and knowledge. Her lived experiences have led her to advocate for trafficked persons, domestic violence, male survivors, familial trafficking, parenting through trafficking, and the need for ongoing services for survivors as well as accountability and transparency for those working in in the anti-trafficking field. This blog/website will allow us to be able to find healing by speaking out. There are some organizations out there that are exploiting survivors by using their story/trauma as a way of gaining clout, money and recognition. We here at Two Survivors are not interested in money, clout or recognition, instead we speak out and up. because every life matters, and we believe that education, empowerment and hope should be free of charge!
