She survived sex trafficking. Now, the Oceanside community is coming together to end it.

All proceeds from this music and art festival go to support survivors of human trafficking.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. — When Romi Hancock was growing up, she was sold into sex trafficking.

The Carlsbad woman is now a coach for anyone struggling in their life.
