people in the US have been affected by coercive groups
(estimated based upon US population)
Since the 1990s, I have been presenting on the dangers of cults and human trafficking at domestic and international conferences, school assemblies, faith-based forums, and nonprofit events.
My presentations and writings center on the warning signs and how to avoid becoming a victim to the coercive tactics of cults and human trafficking.
I advocate for and educate individuals. My community-based talks address how our laws protect citizens, but there are shortcomings. My award-winning book, Taken No More: Protecting Your Children Against Traffickers and Cults (Bloomsbury 2025), (link) provides helpful information for parents and caregivers on how to raise a savvy child. The book was selected as a Finalist of the 2026 International Book Awards for Nonfiction - General category; Silver Award for the Nonfiction Authors Association; and a Winner of the Feb. 2026 International Impact Book Awards for Parenting - Children's Safety & Awareness category. This book serves as a professional resource for law enforcement, educators, mental health professionals, lawyers, and doctors. It received favorably reviews by ICSA Today and Psychology Today.
