My Life My Choice We provide comprehensive, survivor-led, and evidence-based programs and training to end the commercial sexual exploitation of children. https://linktr.ee/mlmc

In 2001, a young Boston woman was brutally murdered while being commercially sexually exploited. She was 17 years old and living in a Department of Children and Families (DCF) funded group home. Unbeknownst to any of the caring adults in her life (her family, her DCF worker, the group home staff), she was being sold for sex. Following her death, city leaders came together to ask "was this an isola

ted incident or the tip of the iceberg?” We quickly learned it was the tip of the iceberg. Out of Latasha's death, My Life My Choice was born. My Life My Choice’s fervent conviction is that no one should be bought or sold. It is our daily fight — our strategic and urgent endeavor. Our holistic, battle-tested approach is grounded in survivor experiences of those who have lived the ugly realities of exploitation and come back fierce, wise, and strong. The central goals of our work are to:

• Empower youth to protect themselves from the commercial sex industry and its predators;
• Support survivors in rebuilding their lives, finding their voice, and becoming leaders; and
• Educate and mobilize a powerful network of allies to prevent exploitation. Since 2002, we have successfully trained over 21,900 youth providers in Massachusetts and nationally, have provided prevention education to more than 3,800 girls, and mentored over 900 youth of all genders in Eastern Massachusetts. We have trained facilitators on our Prevention Curriculum in 36 states, Washington D.C., and Canada. In 2021, we launched a bold new three-year strategic plan to deepen and expand our local and national impact.

Members of our staff will be there on Monday! We're looking forward to being in community and hearing from our partners and other survivor leaders in this work.

The Right Track spotlights the Survivor Model—a transformative approach that decriminalizes those who are exploited while holding pimps, traffickers, and s*x buyers accountable. Through the voices of survivors themselves, the film explores both the courage it takes to escape “the life” and the collective momentum needed to dismantle systems of exploitation.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Janet Jensen, Founder of The Jensen Project and Audra Doody of Safe Exit Initiative- SEI offering space for reflection, dialogue, and connection within the community.

Last week, the Governor’s Council to Address S*xual Assault, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking launched its 5-year Statewide Plan to Address S*x Trafficking.

This plan was developed by the Human Trafficking Subcommittee, co-chaired by our Co-Founder and former Executive Director, Lisa Goldblatt Grace. It was created in collaboration survivor-leaders, including our current Executive Director, Audrey Morrissey.

This plan is groundbreaking in it’s scope and we are so proud for Massachusetts to be leading in this way.
