General Session
Lockey Maisonneuve
Author and Advocate, A Girl Raised by Wolves: Survivor of Child Sex Trafficking
Lockey Maisonneuve is an author, certified yogi, and meditation guide. She guides yoga and meditation classes for incarcerated men and women, ICE detainees, folks in drug and alcohol recovery, mental health patients, gang members, and at-risk youth in inner-city schools. Lockey’s unique experiences give her credibility to share mindfulness programs in these marginalized communities. As you read her memoir, A Girl Raised by Wolves, you will learn that she was neglected, abused and sold into sex trafficking by her father. She was made to feel worthless and invisible by the very people who brought her into this world. Lockey collaborates with several local and national organizations in order to help victims and advocates when dealing with victims of rape, abuse and sex trafficking. She incorporates her own experiences, insight, as well as her jersey girl sarcasm and humor to support others along their healing journey. Learn more at Present
