Speaker
Larinda Smith is the Director of Community Outreach for Unbound North Texas. In her role with Unbound, Larinda coordinates human trafficking presentations in the community and trainings for professionals who work with vulnerable populations. These presentations and trainings bring awareness of human trafficking, its prevalence in our community, red flags to identify potential victims, and how to respond when a victim has been identified. Larinda has personally witnessed the impact training has provided in identifying victims, because as more individuals are empowered with knowledge, more victims are being identified.
