  • S4 EP10 | Truths Shared w/Survivor, Leinani of Healing through Art 808
    Jan 13 2023

    Happy 50th last episode and Human Trafficking Awareness Month 2023. 
    After a long podcast posting pause, Host Victoria is joined by Kanaka Maoli, Leinani Yahiku, to share some truths about her story AND journey of surviving domestic violence and sex trafficking. Leinani and Victoria leave a lasting message about community support needs and why, "CAXHI"-Community Against Exploitation -Hawaii was formed. They talk about the human trafficking "movement" and all the mis-labeling, mis-categorizing, mishandling of cases, and misinformation especially when it doesnt fit a certain narrative. 
    Listen, be aware, and support survivors and lived experience experts not just during this month but always!! 

    Please share and raise awareness. Reach out to the survivors and support their journey. You can always visit the IG account @unseentttpodcast.

  • S4 EP9 | Teen still missing ,possibly murdered, after testifying against her traffickers in 2009
    Jun 24 2022

    Happy June and 49th episode release with a special message. In this episode , Victoria will provide important updates and will cover the sad missing case of an Everett, Washington multiracial (Native American, Black, and White) young adult woman. For over 10 years, Sarah Collins has been searching for her daughter, Emily Kelsey Collins after reporting her missing in 2009, hoping she wasn't murdered. Kelsey was reported to have gone missing just three weeks after testifying against her traffickers. Unseen: The Trafficked Truth Podcast hasn't covered a missing case before but this was important to be told especially with the ongoing awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People and this tragic correlation to sex trafficking.

  • S4 EP8 | Giving Voice to Survivor Alexis "Kee"Martins truths w/ Millennial Therapist Podcast Hosts
    May 27 2022

    Join Victoria and Mao and Nao from The Millennial Therapists Podcast discussing an important sex trafficking survivors story. Victoria hoped to one day have this guest on herself and share since being released almost 2 years ago. Since we couldnt, we are giving much needed coverage and awareness for the case of  Alexis "Ke'Erica " Martin and her unfortunate return to prison. Please share space as we talk story, discuss facts about the apparent parole violation, and give respect to her story. Mao and Nao will share insight from a Therapists point of view while we all cover the "true" crime of it all and highlight the survivor voice.

    The Millennial Therapist Podcast is hosted by two first generation american millennial therapists who are equally true crime, forensic psychology, and macabre obsessed. Learn more on Anchor.fm and Apple/Itunes Podcasts. IG is @mtpodcastwithmaonao
