Jasmine is a personal hero of mine and I don't believe you'll be surprised when I tell you why. Not only did she survive unspeakable assaults while in the military, but this incredible woman did a lot of counter trafficking work when she was in the military, too. She worked with Intel mostly, so she didn't get to talk to many of the survivors. She's struggled with self-hate and despair thinking about the ones they couldn't get to in time - which I can certainly relate to. It's called survivor's guilt for me. I call it "Schindler's Syndrome" in the case of incredible people like Jasmine. No matter how many people someone saves, they always believe there could be just one more. But a hero is a hero, and Jasmine, you are incredible. On behalf of survivors around the world, thank you for everything you've done. WE LOVE YOU. And thank you for being here with me today.
