My Life My Choice

ted incident or the tip of the iceberg?” We quickly learned it was the tip of the iceberg. Out of Latasha's death, My Life My Choice was born. My Life My Choice’s fervent conviction is that no one should be bought or sold. It is our daily fight — our strategic and urgent endeavor. Our holistic, battle-tested approach is grounded in survivor experiences of those who have lived the ugly realities of exploitation and come back fierce, wise, and strong. The central goals of our work are to:

• Empower youth to protect themselves from the commercial sex industry and its predators;
• Support survivors in rebuilding their lives, finding their voice, and becoming leaders; and
• Educate and mobilize a powerful network of allies to prevent exploitation. Since 2002, we have successfully trained over 21,900 youth providers in Massachusetts and nationally, have provided prevention education to more than 3,800 girls, and mentored over 900 youth of all genders in Eastern Massachusetts. We have trained facilitators on our Prevention Curriculum in 36 states, Washington D.C., and Canada. In 2021, we launched a bold new three-year strategic plan to deepen and expand our local and national impact.
