Though Craigslist shut down their US "Adult Services" section this past September, the parallel "Erotic Services" section has remained up and running in other countries. The section has been accused of fostering human trafficking of adults and children alike. The Justice Minister and Solicitor General of Alberta recently sent a letter to Craigslist, thereby joining Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario in requesting closure of this portion of their site. For more information: Full Story.

I was born in Thailand to Cambodian parents, before immigrating to Western Massachusetts as refugees in the early eighties. With a desire to travel and need to break out of small town living, I went on to study graphics and printing in upstate New York at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), graduating with a degree in Graphic Media Publishing.  I came to BTFF with over 5 years of graphics experience, ranging from bindery and pressroom expertise, to prepress graphic design roles, page layout, and production management positions. Besides Massachusetts and upstate New York, I lived in the Washington DC area for about four years working in the graphics and publishing field, before relocating to Philadelphia, PA where I currently reside. I am very excited to be part of BTFF and glad to have the opportunity to assist with an organization that impacts the lives of survivors of modern slavery.
