About Cheyenne
Cheyenne is a speaker, educator and anti-trafficking advocate dedicated to strengthening how individuals, organizations, and systems understand and respond to human trafficking.
She has served as a Human Trafficking Navigator with the Nova Scotia Department of Justice, where she contributed to the province’s first Human Trafficking Action Plan, and was invited to contribute to a Special Project with the Vice Unit at Halifax Regional Police. She also worked directly with trafficked youth as a Youth Advocate.
She facilitates signature programs and mentorship within youth-serving environments, working directly with vulnerable and at-risk youth —including those in care— where trafficking risk is highest.
Her work translates directly into training.
Cheyenne delivers human trafficking education and training that is practical, trauma-informed, and grounded in real-world application — equipping professionals to recognize exploitation, respond with clarity, and navigate complex cases with confidence. Her work has informed training, policy, and frontline response across Nova Scotia.
This was more than a speech — it was the beginning.
In 2018, Cheyenne publicly shared her story for the first time at Nova Scotia Provincial Leadership Prayer Breakfast.
That moment became the foundation of her advocacy — and a call to confront exploitation, speak truth, and lead change.
Watch the moment that started it all.

Frustrated by the lack of accountability given to sex buyers in Halifax and across Canada, Cheyenne co-founded the 2019 Buyer Beware™ Conference alongside Lia Renaud to confront the demand driving human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Held at Saint Mary’s University, it became the first conference of its kind in Atlantic Canada to confront the demand side of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
The event brought together civic leaders, law enforcement, health professionals, and national advocates‚ including keynote speaker Victor Malarek—for critical conversations on preventing exploitation and strengthening community response.
