About this episode

** Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking. If you are sensitive to these topics, you may want to skip this episode.**


Actress and activist Marisol Nichols is no stranger to the darker side of life. She also knows that one choice can forever change the course of your life.

During this tell-all episode, Marisol Nichols details her dark past which eventually prompted her to audition for her first play at 19. This small choice propelled Marisol's acting career, leading to her roles on 24 and Riverdale.

In 2012, Marisol learned about the horrific realities of human trafficking. Unable to sleep, Marisol decided she had to do something. This led to the formation of her non-profit, Slavery Free World.  Additionally, Marisol uses her acting skills and knowledge of human trafficking to go undercover to catch those who prey on children.
