In this episode, David sits down with author, poet and activist Dr John A King and his wife Melissa at their home in Grapevine, Texas. John talks about the stunning realization at age 45 that he had repressed more than a decade of sexual abuse and sex trafficking during his childhood, and the heartbreaking years that followed, which would cost him his health, his family and his career. John would eventually find healing in writing, publishing 2 books about his experiences, and appearing in several documentaries about sex trafficking. John and Melissa now run the Give Them A Voice Foundation, which was launched in 2015 to provide advocacy, support, resources and rescue for those who have been sexually abused or trafficked.
