INVOLVEMENT/ROLES: Event Planner, Graphic Designer, & Writer

Exposing Truth is an event proposal that was sent into the PCMA Student Competition Fall 2021. This proposal was against over 21 other teams within North America and won 2nd place.

The theme for this competition was “Combating Human Trafficking”. We chose to focus on educating the target market who is in control of making laws and passing bills that could potentially stop the demand of human trafficking, specifically within the United States. Though this is a global issue, we must reform the policies within each country individually as every country has different regulations.

Our stakeholders are the members of Congress including the House of Representatives and Senate. We know our stakeholders have busy lives and want their meetings and events to be worth their time. For our event, we are using storytelling and scenes to live the reality of human trafficking. We hope by showing the lived experiences of human trafficking we will make a large enough impact that stronger punishments and laws will be enacted.

The plan for Exposing Truth was to be hosted on the U.S. Capitol grounds of Area 1 which is the demonstration area just west of the building. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the effects of human trafficking in hopes that the reality of human trafficking victims will create productive conversations among Congress members. The Curve hopes that the conversation that will spur from the event will help create bills and laws that enact harsher punishments against "Johns" who are the buyers and pimps who are the suppliers.

As a veteran of the competition, I am also proud and pleased that we submitted our proposal as a police investigative case file. To continue the experience, our video presentation was inspired as a detective interrogation interview recording!
