Lurata Lyon | Surviver of Human Trafficking | Extraordinary Life Stories

In this episode of Extraordinary Life Stories John Reynolds talks to Lurata Lyon
Lurata is a survivor of civil war in the former Yugoslavia, who endured the trauma of being held captive, suffering torture and abuse. She was however one of the lucky ones having eventually escaped to the United Kingdom.
From not speaking a word of English, Lurata went to college, supported herself through various jobs from working all hours in a dry-cleaning business, through to manning an internet café. She saved to invest in myself, and qualified as personal trainer and nutritionist.
In tandem she began to work with charities and got involved with voluntary work to campaign against human trafficking and exploitation of women. This led to joining the public speaking circuit, where she uses her story of ‘survival to success’ to give others hope.
