Who We Are

At It’s Going To Be OK, we are dedicated to speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves and defending the rights of all who are vulnerable. Founded by Dr. Tonya Stafford, a survivor of human trafficking, our organization is built on a foundation of compassion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to ending human trafficking and supporting its victims.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide comprehensive, trauma-informed care to survivors of human trafficking, ensuring they receive housing for two years, food, clothing, and mental health counseling they need to rebuild their lives. We are committed to creating a world where every individual is free from exploitation and modern slavery.
