WARNING. This conversation includes discussion about childhood abuse and rape. 

Kristin was exposed to pornography in her early childhood years, endured sexual abuse from her brother from ages 7 thru 13, and began self-harming at age 12. After high school, she spiraled into drug and alcohol abuse, was raped and later participated in creating pornography for a short time.

By the grace of God, Kristin found healing and redemption. Through her entrepreneurial endeavors, Kristin has spent the last 20 years sharing her story and mentoring young girls and women who have survived abuse, or are actively trying to escape.

Kristin has been an outspoken advocate for parental rights, working alongside Tennessee legislators to safeguard public schools from obscenity and pornographic materials, as well as penning a "Parent's Bill of Rights" for the 2022 legislative session. In September 2021, Kristin joined Freedom Forever Founder, Landon Starbuck at the "March to the Border" to help expose human trafficking and exploitation at the southern border. 

Kristin is dynamic leader and effective organizer that brings a wealth of operational knowledge to Freedom Forever. She is honored to be part of the team and empower other parents to protect their families and prevent the the perpetuation of child exploitation, trafficking, and sexual abuse material.

March is Women's History Month. Lynn's Warriors wants to keep women at the forefront who have an important history to share with us in the United States... and that we should never forget. We are told to believe all women. Support all women. So why was Juanita Broaddrick given such a hard time by many and dismissed by the media?

Juanita Broaddrick is a retired nurse, businesswoman, author and public speaker. To many her name is indelibly fused with Bill Clinton. She tells her story not only of her travails but how she was abandoned by the media left even before they went woke. 

We thank Juanita for bravely sharing her very personal story. She has never backed down despite tremendous pushback. Juanita Broaddrick is a true Warrior. Juanita and I chat about ALL plus why she wrote "You'd Better Put Some Ice On That" – autographed copies available on her website.

Please support and follow Juanita on Twitter for the best tweets. As Juanita told us "We all need to laugh more."  I promise you will!

Sara Tasneem is a true-life Warrior. Sara was trapped in a marriage with a stranger when she was just 15 years old. Forced by her own father. This happened in the United States. Now a free and independent woman, she bravely fights for anti-child marriage legislation so that other girls don’t have to go through the abuse she experienced.

Sara bravely shares with us her story. She also explains current legislation and pending bills to make every state #18NoExceptions plus  how she is "Thriving After Surviving." Join us. 43 states still allow children to get married. This child abuse must end along with the proven lifelong harms. #EndChildMarriageNow

"To solve the global problem of sex trafficking, it is time to hold not only traffickers to account, but also the people who create, enable and perpetuate this problem: sex-buyers.  

Although sex-traffickers enjoy the lion’s share of the global community’s scorn, it is sex-buyers— overwhelmingly men who purchase sexual access to the bodies of women and children —who deserve far more of the outrage and should receive a much larger share of frontline law enforcement’s responses. After all, traffickers may be the ones who pocket the money that is generated from sex trafficking operations, but it is sex-buyers who pay it." 

These are the words of Dr. Marcel van den Watt, Director of the Research Institute at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation in Washington D.C. He is an internationally accoladed investigative and research professional with 20 years’ experience in combating the interspersing criminal economies of organized crime, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation. His cumulative experience as a former human trafficking police investigator, human trafficking case manager, and hostage and suicide negotiator, continues to inform his work. Marcel has consulted in and provided expert court testimony in several sex trafficking cases, briefed members of the US Congress on issues related to online criminality and engaged with both the Presidency and the Multi-Party Women’s Caucus in South Africa’s Parliament on matters related to implicit harms-, myths-, and laws associated with the sex trade.

Dr. van der Watt joins us to explain why he wrote this powerful Op-Ed for The Hill and reaction.
