Human Trafficking Doesn’t Always Look the Way You Think
Human trafficking doesn’t always look like chains, dark alleys, or dramatic rescues.
More often, it looks like a teenager sitting in class, a kid showing up at church, or a young person scrolling on their phone at home.
In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Build With Stephen Scoggins, I sit down with Brittany Dunn, COO and Co-Founder of Safe House Project, to expose the uncomfortable reality of how human trafficking hides in plain sight, and what it will actually take to stop it.
This is not a conversation built on fear.
It’s built on clarity, courage, responsibility, and action.
Too many people assume trafficking is rare, distant, or “someone else’s problem.” The truth is, it’s happening in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our communities, often unnoticed because we don’t know what to look for or we’re afraid to speak up.
What This Conversation Covers
In this episode, we break down:
- How trafficking hides in plain sight and why common stereotypes keep people blind
- The warning signs every parent, leader, educator, and community member should know
- Why leadership starts with showing up, even when it’s uncomfortable
- The butterfly effect, how small, intentional actions can create massive change
This conversation may challenge your assumptions, but it will also equip you with real knowledge, practical awareness, and tangible steps you can take starting today.
This Is About Responsibility, Not Fear
If something feels off, report it.
If you want to protect kids, get informed.
If you want to help end trafficking, don’t wait.
Because love isn’t passive.
Leadership isn’t silent.
And change doesn’t happen when we look away.
