Human Trafficking is a billion dollar evil that is happening all around us in all of our communities. Rachel White is a licensed counselor and felt so compelled that she needed to help survivors of trafficking know that they are loved so she founded Her Song: where young ladies from all over the nation find refuge in the aftermath of trafficking.
She received the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award in 2016 at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. and a Meritorious Award in 2019 by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office for outstanding community service in a case that led to a trafficker being sentenced. And since their inception until today, Her Song has served over 1,600 survivors. 1,600. Rachel is an incredible leader who is making an eternal impact.
