Feature film / documentary sex-trafficking consultant. 

Once we started pre-production on the movie, Jayla came on board as an Expert Consultant and worked closely with the various department heads in wardrobe, hair and make up, and the art department to bring this world to life. We also worked together on the script making it as authentic as possible. After the actors were selected, we decided to conduct a sort of mini sex trafficking “boot camp” for the cast explaining the world to them and what was at stake. Jayla’s tendency for detail and accuracy led the actors to affectionally nickname her “the truth”.

While the popularity of talk shows like Jerry Springer made out-of-control teens look like actors, putting on a facade for camera time, Jayla saw the pain behind these teens.  As a consultant for the talk show circuit, Jayla spends time taking teens through an intimate scared straight program to show them what real consequences look like, how they feel, and to hear the stories of other women who were once out-of-control.
