ABOUT US
We are a LIVED EXPERIENCE based organization
Our main focus is to create empowerment through encouragement. Sisters of the streets exists to create permanent successful solutions.
Our purpose is being direct advocates for women and young girls who have experienced domestic sexual exploitation as well as a reliable resource which provides tailored assistance where they need it, when they need it. We're committed to raising awareness by educating society of the harsh realities of "the game" and focusing on educating on the importance of all inclusive solutions to this issue.
With emphasis on all three areas of the issue
(The exploited, the buyer and the exploiter)
Overall, the final goal is to not only help support our peers in getting out of the their exploitive situations but to also continuously support them so they're empowered to stay out.
We believe exploitation is not just an issue for those involved in it, it is an epidemic of humanity.
We are Sisters of the Streets and we are created by those that have lived it for those who are living it

In addition to personal experience, Jaimee has logged over 500 hours of training and educating individuals on the realities of sexual exploitation and how to identify and prevent it. She is intrinsically driven to influence society to dig deeper within their hearts to reveal how even the smallest amount of effort and empathy for all parties involved in exploitation, can truly lead to surmounting, life-changing results.
Jaimee engages within the community to encourage them to dig deep and look within themselves at their own stigmatization and actions to reduce their participation in the lack of success these individuals face.
