Episode 1: Myths and Misconceptions

This introductory episode lays the foundation of the entire podcast. Melanie and her guest Katrina Massey discuss all the myths and misconceptions our culture spews out about prostitution, trafficking and trafficking survivors: everything from Sound of Freedom, Taken, and Pretty Woman to the Wayfair, napkin, and zip tie conspiracy theories to the notion that “sex work” is empowering and much more. In this episode, Melanie and Katrina get into what makes survivors’ eyes roll, and the truths that they think the world should know.
