Celebrities & Media Showed Great Support for Our Children's Keeper Teen Summit Event

ATLANTA - Jan. 22, 2018 - PRLog -- The inaugural teen summit event for Our Children's Keeper took place in Atlanta on January 21st in downtown Atlanta, a known hub for sex traffickers.  The event took place at Jon'Ric Salon and Spa and The Cave Luxury Barber Spa at 200 Peachtree Street beside the Westin. The sold-out event, hosted over 40 teens, a host of volunteers and support from special guests such as LeAnne "Lelee" Lyons of award-winning R&B trio, SWV, Dr. Ron from "The Doctors" and a live remote by local hip-hop station, Streetz 94.5 with morning host, Mo Quick.

Teens were treated to raw conversations by survivors of sex trafficking including Toni Rivera, a victim-turned predator turned advocate, Sade' De'Angela, a survivor who was kidnapped in Atlanta when she was 16 and was gone for almost a year before her family found her along with Atlanta's special unit law enforcement officials.

There were empowerment sessions led by successful women to share stories of the importance of knowing your worth and achieving high goals. Chrishon Lampley, a private wine label owner of Love Cork Screw based in Chicago, best known for her appearance on MSNBC's "The Job Interview" spoke about career readiness and achieving dreamlike careers; Aeshia Devore-Branch of Pretty Girls Sweat, shared her story of overcoming bullying through athleticism and embracing her uniqueness and Maxine Caine from STEM Atlanta helped the ladies make the connection between STEM and careers in the beauty and makeup industries. While local hair stylists, wardrobe stylists and makeup artists were onboard to help with our image transformation to ready our teens for their close-up headshots that were printed and framed on the spot.
