Yesterday, InSight recorded a powerful story of domestic abuse and human trafficking told by survivor Desiree Guerra. She is founder of a non-profit, Ashes To Wings: Healing Empowerment Fight to help women and children rebuild their lives after escaping violence or trafficking. "I know what it feels like to flee with nothing," she says, "I don't want anyone else to face that alone." Watch this InSight episode premiering next Friday, 10/10, at 7:00pm.
