Our Team
MISSSEY is Black femme and survivor led
Our lived experience gives us the perspective and insight to achieve healing and freedom for ourselves while working to make the world safer for Black girls and gender-expansive youth. We know what the young people we serve are going through because we have gone through it, too. This work is personal for us; we are passionate and focused on healing ourselves and each other. We are devoted guides, always here to listen, comfort and lift up the young people we serve. We are capable and trusted partners to the ecosystem of organizations and professionals we work with. Our dedication to ending sexual exploitation and the systemic conditions that uphold it - racism, sexism and capitalism - fuels our tireless commitment to serve and center young people.
