Day 2- Kristen.

On day 2 of Dressember you get the privilege of meeting Kristen. She's also a senior at NW majoring in nursing. Kristen's passion for justice and desire to serve the Kingdom shines through everything she does. ALSO, Kristen will be wearing this same black dress for the next 30 days! 


"I'm participating in Dressember because I believe in the individual beauty and creativity of each woman who walks this earth, including the 30 million women who find themselves in slavery.  I'm participating in Dressember with the women and children of Goa, India specifically on my heart and mind.  This past summer I had the chance to spend six weeks getting to know so many stories of these beautiful individuals who find themselves in such diverse and challenging circumstances.  And one of those circumstances includes finding themselves at a very high risk for becoming victims of sex trafficking.  This issue has pulled at my heart for a couple of years now, and I'm thankful for events like Dressember that allow so many of us to be involved in the fight to end slavery.  Dressember shows that fighting for justice can be creative, unique, and diverse.  May we use our individual voices and passions to bring hope to the 30 million. "


Fact for today: Human trafficking generates more than $32 billion annually. This is twice as much as Starbucks profits in one year.
