Summary
Human trafficking is a multi-billion-dollar criminal industry that denies freedom to more than 25 million individuals around the world.
Gina Jernukian is the founder of Soul Survivor Ink, a nonprofit dedicated to helping survivors of human trafficking and former gang affiliation heal from the pain of their past by assisting them in the removal of “branding” tattoos and scars. Through this work, she helps survivors reclaim their identities, dignity, and freedom.
Today, Gina shares the moment that shifted her purpose forever, the incredible journey of launching Soul Survivor Ink, and the profound impact of helping survivors erase the painful reminders of their past. She reminds us that while our past may shape us, it does not have to define us—and that healing, hope, and new beginnings are always within reach.
My friends, if you need a reminder that one person can make an extraordinary difference, this conversation is for you. You’ll leave this episode with a deeper understanding of the hidden crisis of human trafficking, the power of small acts of kindness, and the unwavering truth that no matter where you’ve been, freedom and healing are always possible.
