“Empower, Educate, Eradicate – Together, We Can End Human Trafficking.”

Dr. Tonya Stafford

IGTBOK founder

As the Founder and CEO of “It’s Going To Be OK, Inc.”, I take great pleasure, privilege, and honor in having organized a non-profit organization dedicated to educating about and eradicating human trafficking. This issue is very near and dear to my heart, having personally lived through its exploitation and victimization.

As President Obama once said, “It’s time to call human trafficking what it really is: modern-day slavery.” Moreover, approximately 300,000 children are at risk of being trafficked for sex in the United States every year. Because of this, “It’s Going To Be OK, Inc.” is dedicated to empowering those who have experienced trafficking, those who’ve never heard of it, and those who want to do something to prevent it.

Become a part of “It’s Going To Be OK, Inc.”, an amazing growing movement of individuals, communities, businesses, and organizations, in every corner of the globe.

“As a graduate of UTA and someone currently meeting with other law enforcement groups investigating cases of human trafficking, I took the opportunity to join the audience of last night’s panel discussion at UTA. I just wanted to reach out and thank you for so bravely sharing your story with us. I was particularly inspired by your grace and recovery. I doubt I would be so brave and compassionate. So thank you again and I look forward to more good things to come in the future. God bless.”
