Meet Krishna Patel, a former U.S. Attorney and current activist combatting human trafficking. Krishna holds two roles - Justice Initiative Director at Grace Farms Foundation and President of Unchain. After a distinguished legal career spanning more than two decades in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut, she's joined Grace Farms Foundation. Krishna has worked with global leaders and international organizations to identify ways to combat human trafficking in conflict as well as ways to create more transparency in global supply chains. This is part of her work at Unchain.  Krishna came into my orbit when I went to see a talk she moderated at Grace Farms. Krishna is so generous with her knowledge of these complex issues in her various talks and in this episode, too. In this episode, we hear her story and dig deep into modern-day slavery. We look at awareness issues, what she is doing to combat them, and what we can do to take action.  Krishna and I also discuss the divide between our consumption of goods in the North and how that correlates to modern-day slavery that is happening in countries in the southern hemisphere. We explore transparency - where it’s needed and how to create it. We unpack all of these massive, complex topics and look at how we can see this in our own lives.   As you listen to this episode, I challenge you to look at how modern-day slavery is affected by our choices as consumers and look at the resources that Krishna has so generously given us.
