In 2016, while attending an event, Ms. Wright was inspired after hearing Sophia Williams speak about her daughter who was murdered as a result of Human Trafficking. After hearing Ms. Williams’ story about her daughter, Ms. Wright began to research Human Trafficking and reached out to Ms. Edee Franklin, founder, and CEO of Sanctum House in Macomb Michigan.
