COMING SOON
She was sold at fourteen. This is how she found her way home.
Tina Dixon was fourteen years old the first time the Cadillac doors locked around her. She would spend years trying to find her way out of what happened next.
Going to the Country is the true memoir of a Louisiana girl trafficked through the bayou brothels and underground bars of the Deep South, caught up in addiction, and separated from her children before she found the God who had been beside her the whole time.
This is not a tidy story. The road from that Cadillac to freedom ran through broken marriages, crack houses, and cities across the country. It ran through the kind of shame that makes you believe you are too far gone to save. Tina Dixon knows that road better than most.
But she also knows what is waiting on the other side of it.
Written in a warm Southern voice that never flinches and never lets go, Going to the Country is for survivors who are still in the middle of their story. It is for women of faith who believe in a God who does not leave. And it is for anyone who has ever needed proof that a life can be rebuilt from the wreckage of what it used to be.
Tina Dixon made it through. This is how.
Be the first to know when Going to the Country is released.
For Survivors
From Survival to Sustainable Careers
Queens Arise equips survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence with the education, mentorship, and professional connections needed to build independent futures.
∙ Career training
∙ Professional mentorship
∙ Real employment pathways
The Problem Survivors Face
Freedom is only the beginning.
Between the moment someone escapes trafficking and the moment they reach long-term stability, there is an invisible middle, a gap where many survivors struggle to rebuild their lives.
Survivors often exit exploitation without the tools needed to move forward:
- No identification, credit history, or work history
- Risk of re-exploitation without financial stability
- Lack of housing, income, and mental health services
- Limited financial literacy or access to banking
These barriers rarely exist alone. They overlap, making the path to independence difficult to navigate without sustained support.
Survivors deserve more than rescue narratives.
Our solution for trafficking survivors
Closing the Invisible Middle
Queens Arise supports survivors in the critical space between escaping trafficking and building long-term economic stability.
We focus on the practical building blocks many survivors need to move forward—education, mentorship, professional development, and career pathways that lead to sustainable income.
Survivors deserve opportunity, dignity, and a future they can sustain.
How the Queens Arise Program Works for Trafficking Survivors
A Step-by-Step Path From Exit to Employment
Step 1
The beginning of the Journey
Survivors apply to the program and complete an intake process to assess goals and readiness. New Queens receive the tools needed for training, including a laptop and equipment to set up a functional home workspace
Step 2
Professional Foundations
Queens build the foundational skills needed for professional success. Through trauma-informed instruction, participants develop digital literacy, workplace communication, and other core skills required to succeed in a modern work environment
Step 3
Education & Specialized Training
While identifying the learning path that best fits their goals, Queens pursue formal education through educational partners such as Penn Foster College or the Queens Arise entrepreneurship curriculum, developing the skills needed for sustainable careers or business ownership.
step 4
Career Readiness & Employment Launch
Queens prepare to enter the workforce by building resumes, expanding professional networks, and pursuing employment or entrepreneurial opportunities that support long-term financial stability.
Growing Impact Since 2023
Meet Our Founder
Why Queens Arise Exists
I am a survivor of long-term human trafficking. Today, I lead Queens Arise, an organization focused on what prevents trafficking: economic stability, opportunity, and choice.
Prevention is not only about recognizing the signs; it’s about addressing the conditions that allow trafficking to continue. When people have access to education, career pathways, and the ability to support themselves, vulnerability decreases, and long-term stability becomes possible.
At Queens Arise, we believe survivors deserve more than rescue narratives. They deserve options, dignity, and a future they can sustain.
We invite our community to stand with survivor-led solutions that invest in lasting impact, not just awareness, but action.
“This work is deeply personal to me… exiting trafficking was just the beginning of my journey, and I didn’t do that until I was in my late 40’s. Imagine the impact if we financially empowered survivors much earlier in the cycle.“ ~Founder, Tina Dixon
