Elizabeth Melendez Fisher Good
Elizabeth has been a leader in the anti-sex trafficking movement since 2011.

Her experience – from corporate America to being an Area Pastor at Willow Creek Community Church to creating Real Talk, a systemic tool to protect and arm churches – has positioned her to awaken and bring freedom to individuals from all walks of life. Her passion exists for leaders of the global Church. She is the author of Groomed
