Maria Tell is a survivor of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, and severe abuse. Her childhood was marked by trauma: when she was four years old, Maria was trafficked by a woman running an in-home daycare in Fort Collins. Although removed from that situation, the damage was done. What followed was years of exploitation, addiction and violence. Drugs were a tool of control, a way her abusers ensured dependence. But her story has a happy ending: she escaped with her three children and founded A Courageous Rose nonprofit to provide survivor-led peer support to other victims.
