Lisa,
It has been a truly mind-bending day for me. Reading and thinking about Rita’s story and opening my eyes to understanding trafficking through the eyes of the enslaved ones has made me look back into my own past experiences and encounters with a new vision. I can’t wait to share them with you. We may not have those conversational gaps after all. The solution for a problem in my world has always been to gather facts and examine those facts with an objective lens. My God, there is so much to learn! The hunting down of sex workers, now expelled from almost all public places in this country, looks something like a collective exorcism, as if a whole society wishes to absolve itself of having once found pleasure in loving.
I hope Rita finds time to reply. My email was clumsy but I hope she will understand that it would be an honor for me to talk with her.
Heavy hearted tonight. With hard work and determination, maybe I can make a difference.
Thank you.
Percy
PS: Still working on boat replacements.

Lisa,
I am shaking and I haven’t even contacted her? I read her interviews on the blog and they left me speechless and trembling. What do I say to someone who has lived the hell of her past?
I think she has an incredible ability to help me understand the problems of helping victims of trafficking. I will catch my breath and reach out.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to learn about her and to communicate with her. I have so much to learn and you are an incredibly devoted teacher.

Lisa,
We can start with email and if she is okay with a phone call we could do that as well. Emails work best for introductions.
Should I copy you with our communications? Might be helpful at first since you know her.
