About Elizabeth Quiroz From Trauma to Triumph Elizabeth Quiroz is a student at Sonoma State University, where she is working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology and a Master's Degree in Social Work. Her goal is to become a probation officer where she can help make a positive impact on the lives of those transitioning through the justice system. As Elizabeth pursues this goal, she also serves as an Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor at Athena House Residential Treatment Center for women in Santa Rosa, California, and she serves as a human trafficking victim advocate. Elizabeth's passion for helping victims of human sex trafficking has led her to start a nonprofit organization that will open a safe-house for human trafficking victims here in Sonoma County called Redemption House.  Elizabeth does all of this while working with her husband, José "Mico" Quiroz to raise their five children, and working to raise awareness about human trafficking and its long-term impact on the lives of girls and women in communities across the country. Elizabeth's passion and determination were fueled by a desire to atone for what she describes as mistakes of her past. These mistakes include past drug use, multiple arrests, and incarcerations. But, she has come to realize that these mistakes were a product of her childhood years surrounded by alcoholism, addiction, and being the victim of abuse.  Elizabeth was the victim of a broken foster-care system that focused on her negative behavior while missing signs of abuse and trauma. Elizabeth soon found herself trapped in an abusive relationship, the victim of human trafficking, moving from the foster care system to the juvenile justice system, and on to the jail and prison systems. Elizabeth dropped out of high school to run away from her problems. She developed a drug addiction, and by age fifteen, she found herself trapped in human sex trafficking and abusive relationships. By age sixteen, she committed a robbery under the control of her trafficker. She was arrested and placed in Juvenile Hall and later transferred to a group home facility in Sacramento, California. She soon became an adult and continued her life of drug addiction and crime while being controlled by her trafficker. Elizabeth was now spending time in and out of the county jail and state prison systems. In 2011, at age twenty-six, Elizabeth was arrested; this time, she promised herself it would be the last time. She had just given birth to a new baby boy and was determined to turn her life around by getting out from under her trafficker. While incarcerated, Elizabeth took classes and received her GED, and completed Starting Point, an in-custody drug treatment program. Upon her release, she attended the Women's Recovery Services, a one-year residential treatment program. It was there that she decided she wanted to save lives by helping those still sick with addiction and those in bondages of human sex trafficking. This desire to help young women at risk is what motivated Elizabeth to go to college. After completing the Women's Recovery Services program and receiving a certificate, Elizabeth enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC), where she graduated with honors,  earning three Associate of Arts degrees in Social Advocacy, Behavioral Science, and Human Services. Elizabeth's service to the community began upon her enrollment at SRJC, volunteering for the Bear Cub Scholar Program for foster youth. She soon became President of the Second Chance Club, an onsite support program for formerly incarcerated students. On Christmas Eve 2018, Elizabeth received an Unconditional Governor's Pardon from Governor Jerry Brown through the support of numerous community leaders. Motivating Others and Raising Awareness Elizabeth is a sought after speaker and presents on various topics, including Criminal Records Expungement, Addiction Recovery, and Human Trafficking. Among her audiences are; Sonoma County Jail GED graduate...

Margie Santos is the founder, President, and CEO of Synergy Network Worldwide, a corporation that brings exposure to small businesses. In the year 2000, Margie Santos created Resumes4Christ, a company that created and enhanced personal resumes for individuals looking for work. Since then, Santos has continued in that line of work, by offering resume enhancement as a service provided in one of Synergy’s divisions: Synergy Consulting Worldwide. The creation of Synergy Network Worldwide, in 2016, was due to Santos’ desire to expose her Resume business. Margie Santos had the aspiration of connecting with other small businesses in her area yet discovered that there were no platforms for her to do so. She decided that she would create that platform and bridge the gap between her business and others nearby. She believed that networking with the community would benefit every business and that a business with a small network would not thrive at the capacity that it should.   Santos offers affordable pricing for Synergy’s services, because of the belief that small businesses should receive exposure, but should not pay excessive amounts for it. Her current business network has a reach of about 40,000 people, which has helped many small businesses connect with other businesses that they otherwise may not have met. These connections are vital to these businesses because they open many doors for many people.   Santos has appeared on multiple radio stations, television programs, and magazines. She has won multiple awards, including the “Business Woman of the Year Award”, from the New York League of Puerto Rican Women, “Woman without Limits” from Lucy Reyes Ministries, and the Ambassador for Jesus Christ Award from The GoodNews Hangout Ministry. Santos leans on God’s word for the development of her business. She is currently working on opening and expanding the divisions within Synergy, where she promotes specific talents within the body of Christ. Her vision has always been to provide a platform for those who do not have one, and to encourage people to lift one another up. She believes in tomorrow, her for personal life and for her business, and leans on Jeremiah 29:11 for hope. Santos is an Ordained Minister and Chaplain, serial entrepreneur and business builder with the capacity, given from God, to encourage success to those who seek it.     Jeremiah 29:11, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

If anyone says that people do not change…. Let me tell you… that is not true! I am Natalie Coleman and I introduce myself from a place of gratitude, confidence, and self-love. But it took me 44 years to come to the realization that I have a voice which is worthy of being heard and only by the Grace of God, am I able to tell my story without fear and self-judgment. From a young age, I struggled to understand just who I was and spent most of my life wearing a variety of masks that fooled me into believing that I was someone that I was not. But these masks were a survival mechanism that protected me from revealing the pain of traumatic childhood experiences that no young girl should have to experience. My tapestry of self-escapism grew into anorexia, alcoholism, and drug addiction: self-destructive behavior that would nearly take my life and taint those around me for over three decades. My story is one of turning survival into freedom: where God has turned self-centered fear, hopelessness, and spiritual emptiness into courage, hope, and a life filled with His Grace and Blessings beyond my wildest dreams…. Serenity and Peace within. Overcoming chronic addiction and poor mental health is one of the most difficult challenges that anyone can endure. But recovery is possible! God showed me that if I became willing, open-minded, and embraced truth and honesty, CHANGE is inevitable and now I know that with Him, anything is possible Speak Up Empower: https://www.speakupandempower.com/ Speak Up Empower Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/speakupandempowertv/

When she grew up big and strong her Prince Charming came along And she learned that every game they played, she loses. The smiles turned to shouting, Holding hands to flying fists. I And every day another piece of Sarah was dismissed.   Split lip. Broken nose. The love she had for him the greatest weapon that he chose. Until the day he shot at her, A nearly fatal miss. She believed that she deserved it, that her life would end like this. A hollow shell of skin and fear, Not a human any more. The exit in her mind now, All while staring at the door. Her power stripped, her spirit tattered. Every day she’d cry. Hopeless and confused, left wishing she would die.   Any hope that she’d get out alive belonged to someone else. An outstretched hand, a call from home To tell her that she’s not alone.   A choice.   To stay and throw her life away or leave for the unknown.   A glimmer, A sparkle. Like a single firefly, On its way to join the others and illuminate the sky. Her hope, at first so slightly, swayed amidst the wind. Now a fire burning brightly, day and nightly from within. Her eyes open, let the hope in, So she finally could look. And write tomorrow, less the sorrow, Another chapter in her book.   ~ Sarah Gallardo ©   https://www.facebook.com/sarah.spitko/videos/10208277307202790/?
