Janice Tucker

Janice’s young life did not set her up for success. In fact, at a very early age, the difficulties that she encountered brought her down a dark path, resulting in many years of exploitation. As is often the case, this life also brought physical dangers and drug addiction, making the possibility of escape and restoration even more daunting. However, through the support and dedication of individuals and non-profit agencies, she is now an Overcomer – making her way toward her true potential and creating her own best life on her own terms. Janice uses her energy to increase public awareness on human trafficking by mentoring human trafficking victims and working with several organizations.
