First, there came Constance, the young girl in a music video that was trafficked to be a sexual pleasure for a man in another country, she then was filmed to become a sexual pleasure for another man, in another country looking on the internet for pornography, with a family who thought everything was as it should be. This was the spark..... PLEASE WATCH

After being behind the scenes of this music video by Mr. J, I started the research....
-There are 30 million slaves in the world today, more than at any other point in human history.
-80% of all trafficking victims are women and children who are forced into the commercial sex trade.
-The average age of entry into commercial sex slavery in the United States is 13!
-15% of men in the United States have paid for sex at least once.
-Human Trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world.
-The murder rate for an American prostitute is 204 for every 100,000. It is the most dangerous job in the world. This DOES NOT include disease, physical abuse or starvation. This is MURDER alone.
-The Twin Cities is the 13th most heavily trafficked metropolitan area in the United States.
-According to one service provider, 8,000 to 12,000 people are estimated to be involved in prostitution/sex trafficking in Minnesota every day.
Then the Lipstick. How does lipstick even make sense?! Well, it does now! :) Constance is one of my best selling lipsticks in my line, be Lovely. Without Constance, there would be no, be Lovely. Now I am able to have a business that does my passion. A business that will one day be well known because of the quality and the cause of the purchase.
