Theresa Flores is a survivor. As a 15-year-old girl in a well-to-do white suburban neighborhood in Michigan, Theresa survived two years of being trafficked to men in their 20’s and 30’s. She was given as a reward to men in a criminal ring when they did a good job.
An avid track runner, older sister to three younger brothers, and that all-American girl look, no one, not even her parents knew she was being trafficked for sex.
Twenty years later, Theresa is speaking out on the reality of human trafficking in the U.S. She is the author of “The Slave across the Street”, which offers a look into her escape from traffickers and her struggle to heal.
Theresa is a licensed social worker for more than 20 years. She received her Master’s in Counseling Education from the University of Dayton and a Bachelor’s of Social Work from Ball State University.
