We don’t wait for Kids to become victims before we teach them how to recognize danger
I believe we can change the way we prepare our children for the world around them. Join me in having the conversations that are difficult. We can't protect what we're afraid to talk about.
My Mission
For more than 20 years, Liz has educated parents, medical professionals, social workers, teachers, adults, and young people about human trafficking prevention, awareness, and intervention.
As a survivor of human trafficking and a WAR International Ambassador, Liz brings lived experience, education, and advocacy together to shine a light on exploitation, recovery, and prevention. Through her speaking, educational programs, and upcoming books for children and teens, she creates a space for the conversations that are often difficult to have—but too important to avoid.
Liz believes children deserve more than protection—they deserve preparation.
Her work helps adults understand what young people are facing and gives parents, families, educators, and professionals the tools to talk about difficult subjects openly and honestly. At the same time, she works directly to educate and empower kids and teens, with a special focus on teenage boys, giving them the knowledge and confidence to recognize unhealthy situations, understand boundaries, identify manipulation, and use their voice.
This isn't about creating fear. It's about creating awareness, starting conversations, and giving young people the tools to navigate a complicated world.
Because the hard conversations we have today can help change what happens tomorrow.
Ways to STAND WITH US
This work is bigger than one person. Our vision is to build a ministry that equips families, educates young people, and brings hope and awareness to communities facing difficult realities.
As we grow, our goal is to serve as supported missionaries—allowing our family to dedicate ourselves fully to this mission and expand the reach of our speaking, STAND programs, and Project KnightSTAND educational resources.
You can be part of the mission.
Bring Liz to your school, organization, conference, or community for an honest, powerful conversation about human trafficking, exploitation, prevention, and the hard topics affecting young people today.
Bring STAND directly to kids and teens through age-appropriate education designed to help them recognize risks, understand boundaries, navigate difficult situations, and find their voice.
Help us create and bring age-appropriate educational books to kids and teens—giving them the knowledge and confidence to navigate hard topics and find their voice.
We believe God has called our family to take this message beyond our own community. As ministry partners, you help make it possible for us to serve, speak, teach, and create resources that reach young people and families with truth, hope, and practical education. With your support, we can help prepare the next generation.
Liz is proud to serve as a WAR International Ambassador. Through the WAR Chest Boutique, WAR offers survivor-created products and educational resources that help turn awareness into action while giving survivors a platform to share their stories, talents, and strength. Project KnightSTAND will soon be part of this collection, bringing important, age-appropriate educational resources to kids and teens.
