Copa: What is the Red Sand Project and the Blue Ribbon Campaign?
Bella: Bella: The Red Sand Project is a participatory artwork created by Molly Gochman that uses sidewalk interventions and earthwork installations to create opportunities for people to question, connect and take action against vulnerabilities that can lead to human trafficking and exploitation.
The BRP is a "call to action". I ask that everyone to take the pledge against Human Trafficking. SSC, its an acronym for see something, say something and contact the proper authorities.

How have you been prepping for the big day and how many ladies will be competing for the title?
I've been doing a lot of work in the community to bring awareness to my platform. Im so fortunate to have an amazing trainer Mr. Dameron Kirby, owner of K Fitness, he really supports what I'm trying to accomplish and I'm so lucky to have him part of my process. I was so fortunate to have partnered with the Red Sand Project.
I've been working hard with various organizations to expand my platform. As far as how many ladies there are, well, you will just have to tune in and watch. ;)

Copa: We understand that your platform is Human Trafficking. Please share with our readers why it’s so important to be concerned with this growing problem.
Bella:
The centerpiece of my Blue Ribbon Project is Human Trafficking. Human trafficking is “the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.” This atrocity occurs in local neighborhoods; across our nation’s fifty states and internationally.
I can’t eradicate this pressing evil act all on my own, but with your help, and the help of countless others we can make a change together. I have presented a call to action, which I implore you all to take the pledge, and help bring awareness; social responsibility, and launch prevention tactics hereby, bringing suppression to human trafficking.
Moreover, I have taken the liberty of creating the acronym SSC, which stands for “see something, say something and contact the authorities.” This simple action can be the difference between preventing human trafficking, and saving thousands of individuals from forced bondage and captivity.
In conclusion, you all have my deepest gratitude and I do so appreciate your support, after all, its my paycheck of the heart to help humanity.
