Katrina Massey

Having been exploited in the commercial sex industry as a teenager in Atlanta and New York to becoming a real estate broker and restaurateur of several ventures managing over $6 million annually, Katrina Massey has used her experiences to inspire professionals and the lives of youth affected by sex-trafficking to find balance, inspiration, and progression beyond trauma and experiences that affect personal growth.                                                                              

Katrina began in the movement as a victim’s advocate and expert speaker on the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). She is often tapped by government entities, law enforcement, social service agencies, juvenile court systems, and families to inform treatment services, facilitate training, and create awareness; her insight has proven invaluable. 

As a Restaurateur and Entrepreneur, Katrina has partnered with numerous ventures, employing survivors and implementing mentorship programs.  She has used her experience and expertise to create opportunities for survivors, giving them a reflection of the possibilities beyond their trauma.

For nearly twenty years, her knowledge and expertise have impacted changes in laws on the local and national front. Katrina partnerships include Homeland Security's Blue Campaign, Sanctuary for Families, CATW, Runaway Girl, and others.  Being of service is her passion. In all she does, she leads with compassion.
