Our Story

Just Love was borne from our founders’ passion for helping survivors of exploitation and sex trafficking. We believe that the people we serve are precious and wholly worthy of love and restoration. Why do we do it? Just love!

The Just Love Mission

In putting a complete end to exploitation and sex trafficking, we know we face insurmountable odds. That’s why we’re prepared to do what is necessary to make it as hard as possible for these forms of injustice to exist. We care for those who have been victimized by filling the service gaps in our state, spreading education and awareness among our communities, and working with law enforcement and legislators to create stronger laws against exploitation and sex trafficking.

Tricia Grant

Executive Director and Board President

Tricia, Just Love's Executive Director, is a strong advocate for survivors and youth vulnerable to exploitation, and a leader in the anti-trafficking movement, she is also the Founder and Director of If Only 1. Tricia is a survivor of domestic minor sex trafficking who now educates and mentors youth and adults in large group and one-on-one settings about the reality of human trafficking and exploitation. As a survivor-leader, Tricia consults with safe houses all over the country. She works with first-time sex buyers facilitating groups of offenders as a diversionary program in the state of Maine. Having been trafficked in Maine and throughout New England when she was 15 and living on her own with her little boy, Tricia has been able to connect deeply with at-risk youth and encourage victims of exploitation/trafficking and sexual trauma as they move forward in their healing process. Tricia has worked with governors and attorneys general to educate groups of health care providers, educators, law enforcement, and business professionals about the underlying trauma associated with sexual abuse, assault, and domestic minor sex trafficking. She shares her story with the hope that it will help others understand that trafficking can happen to anyone anywhere and prevent victims from waiting 16 years to talk about it, as she did.
