On this episode: 

On today's episode, I'm speaking with Lena Cebula who is telling her incredible story of coerced drug use, child abuse, loss of her child, and being a survivor of human trafficking.  This is an awe-inspiring tale of resilience and strength.

About the storyteller:
Lena Cebula was born and raised in a post-USSR Ukrainian iron mining town.  Her parents struggled in their marriage, became alcoholics, lost well paying jobs and eventually divorced losing custody of their kids.  Lena  struggled in poverty and in trying to survive was abused and raped numerous times.  After the loss of her first child at 15, drug addicted and alcohol dependent, she was twice trafficked to foreign countries, Israel, and Canada.   In Canada she escaped sex slavery and lived in shelter, took English as a second language classes from level 0.  She then applied and finished cosmetology government credit course for newcomers.

Today, she is a wife and a mother of three beautiful children. She is social justice advocate, blogger, speaker, and host of Love&BLoved Podcast.   She partnered up with Fight4Freedom which exists to be an active voice and advocate of justice for women and men impacted by the sex industry and to further assist them in finding necessary supports that will aid them in their journey to safety, healing, and restoration.
