Episode notes
Sophora Acheson serves as the Executive Director and Co-President of Ruby's Place, a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to ending domestic violence, human trafficking, and violent crime through hope, advocacy, and connection.
Under her leadership, Ruby's Place has expanded its services and outreach, notably opening the first human trafficking shelter in the U.S. for men, addressing the often overlooked population of male survivors.
Sophora's mission is to be a fiercely passionate, humorous, and adventurous leader who lives with compassion and a quest for growth that shatters glass ceilings and propels others toward authentic joy and freedom.

Foster parent and adoptive parent
An adopted child
In long-term recovery
Married to a POC
Fertility and pregnancy loss
Mental health and therapy- specifically trained in trauma and sex therapy.
