Good evening everyone. We carry tomorrow in our bones. I'm here today to speak about the future.But to do that, I need to speak of the past. And it is a past built on bloodshed, oppression, and suffering. I will be speaking about racism, human trafficking, and systemic abuse.Please let this be your trigger warning. I want to take you on a journey. Imagine for a moment the following.You awaken in darkness below deck to the swaying of the ship, the smell of brackish water and human waste.

Have you ever planned a vacation using an online travel platform. Maybe you wanted to check out what the popular attractions were or book a tour wherever you were going.
