Abet Speaks: Lost Innocence

Song Credit: Nujabes - Beyond
R.I.P.

Thank you to Love146 & Co-founder Rob Morris for shouting out my video on Twitter. The world appreciates your work, but more than that, so do the children. Y'all making the world a better place one child at a time.

Learning about human trafficking and sex slavery changed my life. Not only did it inspire me to perform my first spoken word piece, it also prompted me to open my eyes to the world around me. My world. Your world. But most especially the third world: a place where people appreciate the things we might often take for granted.

Beautifully spoken...heartbreaking but unfortunately real. Thanks for bringing more attention to this horrific daily tragedy that takes place all over the world.

[HappinessFaerie]

Absolutely love this!! It definitely made me tear up. I've known Rob Morris for years. He speaks at my church every so often. He's amazing and I adore Love146 for everything they do. Thank you for helping to spread the word about human trafficking. Your words are amazing and your voice speaks volumes. May God bless you and your art!
