- an eye-opening, multimedia presentation in which sex trafficking victims from Moldova and Albania tell their stories. Mimi recently participated in an email interview with Captive Daughters' Sarah Gonzales, in which she explains how she gains access to trafficking victims, relates things she has learned in her travels and addresses misconceptions commonly held about sex trafficking.
