My research for this episode began months ago when I heard a statistic
saying that the Super Bowl is one of the single largest events where human
trafficking happens in the U.S. each year. With the Super Bowl happening

My research for this episode began months ago when I heard a statistic

[this year] just a few miles from where Sarah and I live, my original title
was going to be “What is Minneapolis doing to fight against human
trafficking during Super Bowl LII?” In my research, I stumbled across a
website that talked about ‘HT’ as an ongoing problem in Minnesota and their
goal of bringing awareness to it by organizing a 5k for the past couple
years and an additional “Virtual 5k” right before the Super Bowl. My
curiosity was sparked even more when I found out that the organization was
started by a 16yr old. I sat down over coffee with Kaiya Woller to learn
more about ‘Human Trafficking’, what led her to start this, and what it’s
like being a girl growing up living downtown Minneapolis.
