SUMMARY:A Cup of Hope: Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:October 13\, 12:00 – 1:00 pm\n[ Episode #24 ]\nWhen Racism Meets Misogyny – The Exploitation of Asian Women in Illicit Massage Businesses\nEarlier this year\, a man entered an Atlanta massage parlor and brutally murdered eight people – six of them being Asian American women. Media outlets were quick to label this crime as racially motivated\, however\, when taking a closer look\, one soon realizes sex addiction\, misogyny\, and the extreme vulnerability of women of color (particularly Asian and Pacific Islander women) were the driving forces behind this tragic event. According to recent reports\, human trafficking in massage businesses is the second most common type of trafficking reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Additionally\, over 9\,000 illicit massage businesses (IMBs) – fronts for selling commercial sex – are estimated to be spread across communities throughout the United States. Join us for this special episode\, as we examine the ways in which both anti-Asian racism and the fetishization of Asian women collide to make those employed by illicit massage businesses more vulnerable than ever to increased rates of violence and exploitation.\n\nFeatured Guests:\nMissy Weismann\nSEE: Solutions to End Exploitation\nAn unconventional road has brought Missy to her work in both investigative and data driven research on human trafficking and exploitation.  Her curiosity\, drive and spirit brings new innovation to data driven research\, cross sector collaboration and creative solutions. Along the way she has experienced the beauty and pain of grass roots community development in central Asia\, sub-Saharan Africa\, rural southern U.S.\, and now in her home town of Grand Rapids\, Michigan. Currently receiving her Masters degree from Michigan State University in Law Enforcement Intelligence and Analysis.\nDaniel Russell\, Sr.\nDirector of National Corporate Sales\, Trion Solutions\nDaniel Russell\, Sr. is an experienced business professional with an extensive background in employee administration and business management. Dan also has several years of experience in the banking and finance industry serving as a Vice President for Wells Fargo Bank and Wachovia Bank. In addition to his employee administration and banking experience Dan has also trained and developed business owners and entrepreneurs across all types of business sectors. Dan is a well-respected Professional/Motivational speaker guiding business owners\, entrepreneurs and young adults with engaging and inspiring content. He is passionate about helping people achieve their dreams and visions helping their ideas become reality. Mr. Russell serves on several boards throughout Michigan. He has served on the Board of Directors for Winning Futures a youth mentoring program in South Eastern Michigan and on the Board of Directors for Hope Against Trafficking a Non-Profit assisting women who have been victims of human trafficking. He is a board member with the Troy Rotary and is also a board member at Covenant House Detroit an organization providing housing and support services to youth facing homelessness.\n  \n\nThis series of live-streamed conversations was created in partnership with Hope Against Trafficking in an effort to bring perspective and build awareness on all things human trafficking.\nThanks for tuning in!
