“ I ’ m priceless . Having that strong developmental foundation helps to prevent at-risk youth from having wrong relationships . At “ Priceless Jewels ”, we partner with young girls or women to help coach , mentor , support , or provide resources to them .
“ Priceless Jewels ” also advocates for victims of human trafficking . Being a victim of sexual exploitation , my heart ’ s goal is to help prevent , rescue , and empower victims of this crime . We host Human Trafficking Prevention training for organizations , schools , and parents who want to be informed and trained . Eventually , our goal is to provide safe housing for victims .
Fusing art and activism , Kristine donates 50 % of her art sales to help fund Priceless Jewels . She is , without a doubt , a priceless and multi-faceted jewel .

Activist
I asked her to talk a bit about her nonprofit “ Priceless Jewels .” She explained how she designed it to empower young girls and women . She created the program based on what she needed in her own life . Growing up in trauma and abuse , she realized how much she needed to know what real love looked like ; to understand that she was valuable , beautiful , and loved by God .
