About This Event
Tharros Place, a local nonprofit serving underage survivors of human trafficking, will host a human trafficking stakeholder meeting featuring comments by Brandi Little, a human trafficking survivor, advocate, and music artist based in Macon, Ga.
Little’s journey is one of resilience and transformation, turning unimaginable hardship into a powerful voice for healing and hope. As a survivor, she uses her platform to raise awareness about human trafficking and to support others who are reclaiming their lives. Her artistry is deeply rooted in her lived experience, and her performances are not only expressions of creativity but also acts of empowerment and testimony.
This event is open to the public, includes a free lunch and networking, and will showcase vendors collaborating with Tharros Place to support human trafficking survivors. Those interested in learning how to protect our community’s children and prevent trafficking are encouraged to attend. The event is generously sponsored by Delta Air Lines and the City of Savannah, with lunch provided by Roly Poly.
Registration is free but recommended. For more information, please contact Kate Gallop, Outreach Manager for Tharros Place, at kateg@tharrosplace.com or (720) 837-8062.
ABOUT THARROS PLACE:
Human trafficking – the exploitation of another person for sex, labor, or services – is a global threat. In the United States, there are 1.5 million human trafficking victims, most of whom are children. Savannah is no exception, due to its high poverty rate, international port, booming tourism industry, and the crossroads of Highway 95 and I-16.
Tharros Place, a 501(c)(3) that takes its name from the Greek word for courage, was created to fill a gap in services. In 2023, Tharros Place opened a 12-bed residential home to address underlying trauma and cultivate a culture of courage for girls ages 12 to 17.
