I'm 17 and was trafficked for 8 months and a lot was stolen from me. I was trafficked for so long I lost my sense of self because of the mental abuse I suffered. Art is a great form of self-expression. I wanted this piece to show that you are more than what people tell you. Those who try to break your spirit by telling you that "you're nothing" couldn't be more wrong. You are going to be something amazing. Have patience in your journey. Own your status. Embrace being a work-in-progress.
