With more than 25 years of experience in the field of human trafficking, Jennisue Jessen knows intimately the depths of trauma a body can endure. She was sold into the sex trade at age 4 by her grandfather, but God provided for her rescue and escape after a failed suicide attempt at age 17. Through the years of brutality, justice was woven into her DNA. Rather than being defined by her traumatic childhood, Jennisue uses her lived experience to inform and ignite cultural and systemic impact in the counter-trafficking movement. She is passionate about inspiring others to transform their own trauma into triumphant joy.
Jennisue is the Founder & CEO of Compass 31, an international counter-trafficking organization, and the creator of Echoes of Eden Collective, a social enterprise that funds her charitable work through a luxury, vegan skincare line.
On January 5, 2021, Jennisue was appointed by President Trump to serve a 2-year term on the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, where she utilizes her experience to help inform federal counter-trafficking policy.
