About Us

 The MJ Scarlett Foundation Inc is a 501(c)(3) corporation that focuses on educating children, teens, and adults on how to identify human trafficking perpetrators, and protect themselves from being sex trafficked.  

M J Scarlett Foundation, Inc was created in honor of our daughter, Mia Johanna Scarlett, who died May 2018 at just 2 months old. 

 While grieving the loss of my daughter in 2019, I was asked to present to children/youths about human trafficking awareness. While conducting research for the presentation I was appalled to learn that in 2018, the year she died more than fifty percent (50%) of sex trafficked victims were children. This experience catalyzed my empathy and compassion toward advocating for, and educating adults and children who were vulnerable to sex trafficking. I firmly believed that if sharing this information could save children from being trafficked and/or dying it would greatly honor our daughter, Mia. .
