Summary

Dave and I met Derri Smith 12 years ago in our church small group in Nashville. We had no idea then how one woman would make our state, our country and potentially the whole world a safer place for women.

Hear how her own tragic story eventually led her to become the founder of End Slavery TN, the organization responsible for making Tennessee one of the toughest states in prosecuting human trafficking violations.

God's hand of redemption and favor is ALL over Derri's story and I promise you will come away feeling inspired.
