We had the good fortune of connecting with Abigail Howard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Abigail, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk-taking is a complex phenomenon that involves both cognitive and emotional factors. Some people may be more comfortable with taking risks than others, depending on their personality, life experiences, and cultural background. Additionally, the level of risk that individuals are willing to take can vary depending on the context and the potential outcomes of their actions.

In terms of its role in life and career, risk-taking can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the one hand, taking calculated risks can be a pathway to growth, innovation, and success. By taking risks, individuals and organizations can explore new opportunities, challenge the status quo, and achieve breakthroughs that would not be possible otherwise.

On the other hand, taking excessive risks or not considering the potential consequences can lead to failure, financial loss, and reputational damage. Therefore, it is important to balance risk-taking with careful planning, analysis, and risk mitigation strategies.

In conclusion, it takes a special person to choose risk amidst the possibility of failure.

There are many non-profit organizations dedicated to fighting against human sex trafficking, a global issue that affects millions of people worldwide. These organizations provide vital services such as prevention education, victim support and rehabilitation, legal advocacy, and policy reform. By raising awareness about the reality of human sex trafficking, these non-profits strive to combat the stigma and shame associated with this form of exploitation. They work tirelessly to rescue victims from slavery, provide them with necessary medical and mental health care, and offer them a path to a brighter future. Their efforts are essential in bringing attention to this issue and working towards ending human trafficking once and for all. Through their work, non-profit organizations fighting against human sex trafficking provide hope for survivors and work towards creating a world where no one is subjected to this heinous crime. I am grateful to be a part of this large group of people with a heart for change. Project Micah fights to eradicate sexual exploitation and support survivors in their journey of healing.
