After a childhood of abuse in a South American country, Zuli met a young man when she was sixteen years old who romanced her and promised her a better life in the United States.  After agreeing to accompany him to Florida, he immediately turned her over to a trafficking syndicate, and for six years she was trafficked throughout Florida, sold to 40 or 50 men a day, and beaten and drugged if she attempted to resist.  Her brave escape required a three-hour flight on foot to a Walmart store, where she was able to call in law enforcement, who then arranged for safe shelter for her.  Today, Zuli is a community leader helping other abused women find shelter and services, and providing transportation to those in need.
