About the Founder – Kiricka Yarbough Smith
For over 15 years, I have been dedicated to combating human trafficking and supporting survivors in North Carolina. As the Director of Human Trafficking Programs at NC Council For Women, I oversaw the development and implementation of statewide initiatives, policies, and trainings to address this complex issue. I also worked as an Investigator for Project NO REST, a five-year research project that examined the prevalence and impact of child trafficking in the child welfare system. Additionally, I served as the Chairperson of the NC Coalition Against Human Trafficking, a network of professionals and advocates that promotes collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders. In these roles, I applied my skills in program management, fundraising, and nonprofit administration, as well as my domain expertise in human trafficking, sexual assault, and social work. I am passionate about advancing the rights and well-being of marginalized and vulnerable populations, and I strive to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team. I am currently the Principal Owner of Yarbough Smith Consulting, where I provide consulting services to organizations and individuals working on human trafficking and related issues.
