Angela Williams
Angela Williams is a sex trafficking survivor — but her experiences in trafficking do not define her or her future. Her roles as a mother and a follower of Jesus are much more important to the woman she is today.
Angela spent more than a decade in what’s known as The Game, the pimp-prostitute subculture, in which she was trafficked by several different pimps. She left that lifestyle in early 2017. Since then, she’s worked as an advocate for victims and survivors, often speaking late at night with girls and women in crisis, spending countless hours counseling them and trying to find them help.
So far, Angela has appeared in three documentaries speaking about her experiences as a survivor: Surviving Sex Trafficking, Buying Her, and High Class. She is also the lead plaintiff in an ongoing public interest lawsuit that seeks to hold the state of Nevada accountable for the conditions that led to her trafficking.
