Hi there — thank you for stopping by and taking the time to learn more about Last Word by SL.
When I started this brand nearly a decade ago, my vision looked very different. Back then, it was a simple idea — a small clothing line designed to raise awareness and funds for survivors of human trafficking.
Over the years, Last Word has evolved into a creative and collaborative movement uniting brands, survivors, advocates, and media around one powerful mission: to fight human trafficking and support survivors on their road to recovery.
We’re more than a brand; we’re a community grounded in advocacy, compassion, and meaningful action. Survivors endure unimaginable trauma — and for many, the hardest part begins after rescue, when the long road to healing truly starts.
I’ve witnessed firsthand the tireless work of grassroots organizations on the front lines: providing detox services, housing, trauma therapy, medical care, and unconditional support. I’ve met survivors pursuing higher education thanks to scholarships and funds raised by compassionate people like you.
These experiences, and the remarkable people I’ve met along the way, have shaped my unwavering determination to disrupt human trafficking and fuel lasting change.
The vision I hold today looks nothing like the one I had in 2016 — it’s louder, bolder, and more out there, rooted in a deep sense of purpose. I see Last Word becoming not just a movement, but a recognized philanthropic foundation meeting survivors wherever they are in their journey.
We’ve set ambitious but vital goals for 2026 — and I can’t achieve them alone. Your partnership matters more than ever. Whether through financial gifts, sharing our mission, or engaging with our content, your involvement creates real impact.
Together, we can ensure survivors are not only rescued but also fully equipped with the tools — trauma therapy, medical care, clothing, education, and love — to rebuild their lives.
The truth about trafficking is complex — and often more unsettling than most will allow themselves to believe — but together, we can confront it head-on with compassion and courage.
Thank you for your continued prayers, support, and trust.
With gratitude and resolve,
Shannon LaBree
