In this powerful episode of Break That Cycle, we sit down with Dotti Groover-Skipper, founder and CEO of the HeartDance Foundation, to expose the realities of human trafficking and the urgent need for awareness right here in our communities. Dotti's journey into advocacy didn't begin in policy rooms or headlines—it began with lived experience, calling, and decades of frontline work. Today, she is one of Florida's most respected voices in the fight against human trafficking, having helped shape statewide initiatives, trained faith communities, educators, businesses, and law enforcement, and supported survivors of exploitation in rebuilding their lives. In this conversation, we break down: What human trafficking really is (and the many forms it takes) How trafficking hides in plain sight—far beyond the stereotypes Warning signs and red flags people should know What to do if you suspect someone is being trafficked The mission and impact of HeartDance Foundation and how they support survivors This episode is educational, eye-opening, and deeply human. Whether you think trafficking "doesn't happen here" or you want to better protect your family and community, this is a conversation everyone needs to hear.
