Plot Twist! - Monique Ekres, Program Director, Elora House
I had literally never met Monique until the night we recorded this episode and I can tell you we hit it off - and I think you will, too! Monique first became aware of human trafficking in Bangkok, Thailand in 2013. Since then her passion for helping girls and women impacted by this atrocity has continued to grow. She recently graduated with an Honors Banchelor of Design for which her thesis focused on developing a successful anti-trafficking awareness campaign targeting Gen-Z. She is currently the Program Director at Elora House and in her free time, like to explore new places with her husband, go on hikes with her Sheepadoodle Molly, and she is a tea turned coffee drinker - so you know we're for real friends! Enjoy!
