Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Kelsey Morgan and the two discuss the importance of measuring survivor progress. Kelsey Morgan Kelsey Morgan is EverFree co-founder and Chief Program Officer. In 2015, Kelsey founded Willow International to meet the growing demand for quality aftercare and to transform the systems that fuel trafficking. In 2021, Kelsey teamed up with Jeremy Floyd, CEO of 10ThousandWindows, to unite their two organizations to become EverFree. Kelsey is currently pursuing her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine. Key Points It is important to include survivors in the process of creating a tool to connect them with resources.  Research shows that support for survivors of trafficking does not aid in providing them with lasting freedom, something that EverFree has set out to do.  The Freedom Greenlight tool and program was created to be easy to use and incorporates survivor voices.  Direct feedback from the survivor is given when using the Freedom Greenlight tool, to give the survivor individualized resources that will create lasting freedom. The Freedom Greenlight program has adaptations in USA, Uganda, Philippines, Mexico, Bolivia, Kenya, and Cambodia.

This is episode #305: Measuring Victim Service Progress, with Kelsey Morgan. Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. This is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. I am so pleased to have my good friend and colleague, Kelsey Morgan for this interview. Kelsey is EverFree co-founder and chief program officer. In 2015 Kelsey founded Willow International to meet the growing demand for quality after care, and to transform the systems that fuel trafficking. In 2021, Kelsey teamed up with Jeremy Floyd, CEO of 10ThousandWindows, to unite their two organizations to become EverFree. Kelsey is currently pursuing her PhD from the University of California, Irvine. Thank you Kelsey for joining me today. I'm so excited to talk about the research that you've been doing. But before we get there, do you want to give us a little more background on how you became an advocate, a practitioner, and a researcher? Kelsey Morgan 2:02 Thank you so much, Sandie. I'm so happy to be here with you and I would love to. So long story short, I am from Orange County, I learned about human trafficking in 2006, it changed my life, ended up changing my career trajectory, and I moved to Uganda, where I became the director of an aftercare program there. During my time on the ground, this was in 2010, I was really discouraged by the lack of evidence around what programs were effective in supporting survivors into a lifetime of lasting freedom. The team and I, on the ground of Uganda national staff, we developed programs, and we saw that they were working, but we wanted to figure out why they were working. What was special about them? We wanted to find tools to measure program outcomes and we wanted to include survivors in that process. We wanted to have them be the ones leading the process. So I moved back to Orange County and it was actually through our mutual friend Maria Hernandez, that I went knocking on the door of UCI's School of Social Ecology, asking if maybe some grad students would come help me with this idea. It was the Dean of Social Ecology at the time, Nancy Guerra, who said, "Kelsey, if you want to do this, you are the right person to do it." She marched me into admissions and we set out, through a PhD education, to develop a tool to help us connect survivors with the r...

Kelsey is the Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer of EverFree and formerly the Founder of Willow International. The last time we caught up with Kelsey was late 2020 when she focused purely on East Africa, specifically Uganda, and now she is partnered with 10,000 Windows focused on the Philippines, now known as Everfree. Most of Kelsey's work is overseas but both Kelsey and her co-Founder, Jeremy Floyd, are doing the work remotely from here in the U.S. (California and Tennessee) to address systemic issues and combine resources. Kelsey shares about students and about a local story here in Orange County of human trafficking! At the end of the podcast Kelsey describes how you can get involved to help the efforts.

City of Tallahassee staff members have a number of tools they've been using to address the community's affordable housing crisis. To talk about it are: Devan Leavins, special projects administrator; Jeremy Floyd, neighborhood and urban design administrator; Land Use Administrator John Reddick; and Abena Ojetayo (as the show began, her title was “Director of Housing and Community Resilience. As the program ended, the City was announcing her promotion to “Assistant City Manager.”)

Saving You Is Killing Me- The Tap Back Into Your Power Resource, Support and Network!  Has someone else's problem become your problem? Is loving someone with an addiction leaving you feeling broken, exhausted, and repeatedly disappointed?  When you love someone who drinks too much or suffers from an addiction, it hurts. Life is not normal. You may feel alone, but you are not unique in your pain or dilemma. Nor are you isolated in this situation. Saving You Is Killing Me is a helpful guide to light a darkened path. Regardless of the struggle you are in, loving someone with an addiction is emotionally, psychologically, and physically draining. You must understand that nobody deserves to suffer - you have the right to live a peaceful and fulfilled life that is full of love! You can, and you will find happiness again! Your journey starts by taking back your power and shifting the focus back onto you! With compassion and grace, a positive psychology practitioner and the author of Saving You Is Killing Me: Loving Someone With An Addiction, Andrea Seydel offers support by sharing her personal experiences and the knowledge she used to help navigate the wreckage of her struggle. She exposes the tremendous power of how our relationships can both hurt us and allow us to heal. Trauma is a fact of life, and navigating the turmoil from loving someone with an addiction can be extremely challenging. Saving You Is Killing Me offers new hope for reclaiming your life. Seydel offers insight and learning opportunities for self-healing, recovery, and resilience that foster an empowering way of life.

Jeremy Jeremy Floyd is a man who refused to live anymore without finding who he was created to be.

Jeremy believes along the way, and we lose some people because their training can get the best of them. Jeremy is a person who believes in the power of laughter and smiling. He is a big kid at heart with a powerful story. A man who thought he could walk from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Santa Monica, California, to inspire himself to believe in healing. Along the way, he believes in healing for others.    You  can reach Jeremy  Floyd at @walkunchained walkunchained@gmail.com

Jeremy Floyd, Minneapolis, MN, Sobriety date: January 17th, 2018 Drug of Choice was: Alcohol, Marijuana, Cocaine,  Short Bio:  My name is Jeremy Floyd born and raised on the south side of Chicago. Grew up around drugs and alcohol, gangs, rats, roaches, physical, verbal, mental and sexual abuse.  There was no stability in my house growing up, there was always someone yelling or fighting. All by the age of 13, I witnessed my mom get abused, watched my dad go to jail, rehab and visited him in jail. I watched my parents go through a messy divorce. I was molested from the age of 8 - 10.  When I was 13 I watched my twin brother died the day after Christmas. I smoke my first joint at 14 and for the first time, I could remember to that point it made all the pain go away. The first time I ever got drunk was at 17. I moved to Minnesota on June 12, 2009, to find a new environment but my old mindset followed me to Minnesota, and  January 17, 2018, I was finally sick and tired of being sick and tired. So I checked myself in the Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge program. One of the best decisions I've ever made while being in rehab I believe I stumbled across my purpose. Which is to help others out of the same darkness that I made it out of and to use my story as a weapon of love, grace and redemption and inspiration to inspire others to overcome just as I have and still doing.  Which led to me walking from Minneapolis, MN to Santa Monica California to bring awareness to people who struggle with addictions, suicide prevention, and homelessness. Along the way, I stopped at different rehab facilities and youth homes to tell my story with the hopes of others overcoming. In short, I love people, I love making people laugh, I love to listen (though I'm not good at it all the time I'm working on it) I love being creative whether that's writing stories or jokes. I love to love. I'm a big kid at heart that loves to learn and laugh. Oh, I also love to cook and I love dogs especially ones with floppy ears.  Website: https://www.walkunchained.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.floyd.3551 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/walkunchained/

In this episode, I’m talking with Jeremy Floyd who only has 21 months. (I think everyone can understand why I use the word only here) I talk about long term recovery because, more often than not, it is arrived at over a period of time. Jeremy, however, went on a personal pilgrimage walking 800 miles between Minnesota and Santa Monica California. His walk was to raise awareness of homelessness and addiction but what it really did was raise his awareness of himself. I invite you to listen to through the end when I talk about how you can get an opportunity to work with me and my Portrait Facilitation work for free. I am in recovery and so very happy, not because of my time but because of my growth and the depth of which I love myself. I have been having a rough time as of late but using all the tools I have learned and created I am taking every day, one day at a time. I am not in a state that my sobriety is threatened but I have noticed I am reaching for pacifiers more than I would like. Transition is just one of those things that cause me to hide a bit.

George and Bill look at steps 10 and 11 in recovery which involve taking a personal inventory and examining your spiritual walk.  They then talk with Jeremy Floyd who is a recovering addict currently walking across America ministering to people in need.

Jeremy Floyd was born and raised on the South side of Chicago, is a person who refuses to quit, aspires to inspire others, and hopes to make as many people possible smile in the process. Jeremy is someone God brought from self-hatred and big mistakes to finding purpose realizing God can take broken vessels and make us whole through Jesus Christ. Listeners on the show today will be challenged and inspired to walk away from fear and motivated to step into their God given purpose in this life. Introduction to Jeremy Floyd (3:00) Jeremy moved from Chicago to Minneapolis in 2009. He has a twin brother that passed away at age 13 and another brother six years older than himself. His life has been the epitome of never giving up. Having faced abuse, brokenness, and deep grief, Jeremy learned from a young age to be a fighter. Growing up amidst the chaos he also realized that he could distract himself and others with laughter. Light in Dark Places (4:30) God will still allow good to come out of dark places. Our gifts can be used and cultivated in the darkest of times! Jeremy has done a lot of suffering in life and through the trials it taught him that sometimes we have to fight, claw, scrape, get down and dirty before we will rise up again. His Ways, Not Our Ways (5:45) God is intertwined in every single detail of our lives. Through the years of suffering Jeremy went through in life, he came to a place where he was ready to surrender fully to God. Jeremy did not want to know God based off what others would tell him, rather he was desperate to know God for himself. Becoming A Son (6:30) There are over 7 billion people on this earth, and how amazing is it that God would be mindful to each of our hearts!  Jeremy shares God seems to be making up the time now for what he didn’t have with his dad growing up. True Identity (8:00) True identity comes from God. As we discover who God is, we discover who we are. Going hand in hand, as we discover who we are in Christ, giftings are also discovered within! A Quest For True Love (11:00) Jeremy searched for true love in places like drugs, sports, alcohol, self image, and sex for a long time. In his adult years he came to a point where he knew that he needed God more than anything else in this life. A Deep Cry (12:30) God is always in pursuit of us, He will answer our cries. God is Good (14:30) God is good and he always will be good. Jeremy desires to live the rest of his life helping people believe again and finding their true purpose. Find What Matters (14:30) As believers we are created to go against the grain of the culture. We are born to live for the Kingdom of God. What are you doing for the kingdom? A Strong Voice (17:00) Carrie takes a moment to thank Jeremy for being a strong voice, helping pave a path for others to follow. The Solution (18:00) Jeremy believes the only way many issues will get resolved today is by turning back to Christ. There is a difference between saying that you are a “Christian” and living ones life out as a believer. Wrestling (21:00) After fighting back and forth being frustrated with God and wondering why he’s had to go through so much suffering in his life, Jeremy remembers a voice saying “I can’t take something from you that you never wanted to give up”. In that moment Jeremy said “I surrender” and believed in his heart God could take a weak yes and turn it into a strong yes. The Pursuit (22:30) Carrie elaborates on the importance of knowing God based off personal experience rather than the experience of others. We are not meant to ride on the coattails of other people and unfortunately there are people in the church who have yet to receive this revelation. It wasn't until Carrie was challenged to go and share her faith to the world that she realized this for herself too. Rise Up Church (24:45) God is not a genie in a bottle, He is worthy of our full hearted pursuit and devotion. God is loving, but there are also things God hates. Everyday we are in a spiritual warfare, it is time for the Church to stand back up! Walk Unchained (29:00) Jeremy has chosen to embark on a walking journey from Minneapolis, MN to Santa Monica, CA starting June 1st, 2019. He will launch from the adult teen challenge center and the entire walking experience journey will be recorded. To follow along on the journey click HERE. The Vision (30:00) Jeremy had a dream of walking across the states since he was 10 years old but knew he wasn't old enough to go quite yet. At age 13 his twin brother passed away and knew that his parents for sure would not allow him to walk after that either, for they didn't want to lose another child. Fast forward years later, this past fall Jeremy found himself in his car praying and worshipping, and in that time received a vision from God revealing his calling and reminding him to do the walk across the states. Moving Forward, Looking Backwards (32:45) Often times God will prepare us for future endeavours without ourselves realizing it. Jeremy reflects back and sees how often he walked to places and had often asked himself “why do I have to walk so much”. Now he reflects on those past experiences and realizes there was always significance to it. Childlike Wonder (33:00) We were created to open our hearts to God. We were made to believe God could use broken people like ourselves to do mighty things in this world today! Known (36:30) In order to know our true selves, purpose, and giftings, we need to come close to God because he created us in the first place. For Jeremy, He discovered that he loves to make people smile and help people operate in their purpose. When he is making people smile and helping, that is where he feels most alive. Find Your Purpose (39:00) Jeremy cannot imagine dying and not doing what He was created to do. This walk is the start of a lifelong journey empowering and inspiring others to latch onto God and to find out what their purpose in this life is too. In this time of walking he will be making stops at rehab centers, youth homes, vlogging, and sharing the raw and real moments of everyday life on the ground. It’s going to be an amazing journey and we hope you choose to follow along too! CONNECT with Carrie Robaina by clicking here. CONNECT with Jeremy Floyd by clicking here.

April 23, 2013 Human trafficking is one of the more complex and contentious social and political issues on today's global agendas. Both in the United States and abroad, its ethical challenges have engaged a wide range of faith actors, who bring energy, global networks, resources, and moral fervor to the movement. Cambodia, as a global hotspot for trafficking, offers a remarkable instance of how these issues present themselves in practice and how they are evolving over time. Active debates center on issues at the nexus of faith and development: global and national priorities, coordination of interventions and evaluation of results, the roles of evangelizing and proselytizing in a development or humanitarian context, and issues of gender justice. All are in play in Cambodia. Mark Lagon, Susan Martin, Jeremy Floyd, and Katherine Marshall will explore current efforts and initiatives in Cambodia and set them within the broader, global context of debates and partnerships around poverty.
