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.
From Survivor to CEO
Tina Dixon is Changing Lives
Tina’s story? Nothing short of incredible. After nearly 30 years battling exploitation and addiction, she claimed her freedom in March 2013, completing a transformative year-long trauma recovery program for survivors of Human Trafficking. Armed with resilience, creativity, and an unbreakable work ethic, she launched Dixon Digital Marketing in 2016 – and hasn’t looked back since.
Diving into the movement against human trafficking, Tina became a housing liaison for Empower 225 in Baton Rouge, helping newly freed women find safe housing. It was here she found her true calling: guiding survivors to rebuild their lives. In early 2020 she co-founded Ringlab Media, a digital advertising agency that opened even more doors for growth, impact, and personal achievements, like purchasing her first home at 58 and her second investment home at 61.
But Tina’s story doesn’t end there. She built a network of “Queens” – a group of supportive women who help each other succeed in the world of business. Together, they’re transforming lives through real opportunities, including a scholarship program that mentors survivors in digital marketing, providing them with career paths and a community cheering them on every step of the way.
To expand these efforts, Tina launched the “Queens Arise Program,” which offers mentorship, education, and internships to human trafficking and domestic violence survivors, empowering them with comprehensive training for economic independence, valuable skills, sustainable employment, identity reclamation, and renewed purpose.
Her ultimate vision? To provide opportunities for survivors, giving them a safe space to build their foundations and prepare for life beyond recovery.
What’s next for Tina? She’s writing her autobiography, “Going to the Country,” where she’ll share her journey from early exploitation under the control of the Dixie Mafia at just 14 to becoming the unstoppable advocate she is today. With dreams of survivor-run industries in shelters and her signature kindness, sparkle, and sass, Tina is on a mission to champion her fellow survivors.
