Sandy Storm was a human trafficking victim for over 20 years and it began during her childhood. Initially, she did not realize she was a survivor or how traumatic the experience was until she started volunteering in the justice movement and addressing her Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also know as CPTSD. Sandy has since written three books about her painful childhood, how she was trafficked, as well as her healing journey. She has also become an abolitionist and works with the organization, DeliverFund, to help set other trafficking victims free - both physically and emotionally.
