Sister’s light shines through work of Nita’s Angels

Betty Simons holds a framed photo of her sister, Nita Moseley.

(5 of 5) “I think of my sister every second that we’re out there. Every girl that we talk to, I see her. Every girl we recover, I see her. I see a part of her in all of them. And that’s her legacy. It’s how her light continues to shine. I get really emotional talking about it because I miss her and think about her all the time.

“When her son’s trial was going on, the media portrayed Nita as this drug addict, which she wasn’t anymore. They portrayed her as this prostitute and whore, this horrible person. It’s important for people to understand that they are forced into this life. These girls are not horrible people. There is a story behind each and every one of them that needs to be told.

“I used to say that my sister was a survivor of human trafficking. But I kind of look back now and think, she never really survived. Her trafficker’s child killed her because of what her trafficker put in his head.

“To see the girls we’re able to recover, and to watch as they begin the process of healing and rebuilding their lives, it’s more than incredible. I feel so blessed to be part of this, part of my sister’s dream.”

  1. Hi Ms Betty

    I literally just saw the ID episode of your sister, the late Nita Mosley. I believe I spelled that Correctly, forgive me if not. I am so (long pause)……. my mind is everywhere since watching that. I can not imagine what y’all went through. My gosh, I am so sorry. I’d lie if I said I didn’t shed a tear and fight back the rest. Anxiety, deep breathes for y’all. See YOU cry through the show. What a strong, strong brave woman you are. I WILL most certainly have you in my prayers every single night. I will pray God gives you strength in every aspect of the word. Live you are keeping her alive through this program. I wish to give something, but that will be at a later date. Wow… what a powerful powerful episode. Ms Betty, I ha e seen alot of episodes. None has touched me the way this did. I HOPE YOU GET TO SEE MY MESSAGE. God’s Blessings and Graces to you ALL. Scott
