2022 TOP P&E

Dr. Nissi Hamilton is an awardwinning expert in the field of human trafficking, a field she comes to with five years of pain experience as a survivor of human and labor trafficking. With her multicultural background, Dr. Hamilton is committed to encouraging diversity and inclusion—making a difference in the decriminalization of human trafficking, poverty, and homelessness with minors. Dr. Hamilton is a global humanitarian, veteran, wife, mother of seven, and comedian. She led the nation's first political campaign against human trafficking as she debuted her story by running for office in Houston, Texas. Her social enterprise has allowed her to work with billionaire attorney Tony Buzbee, The Real TV Show host, Jeanie Mai with the up-and-coming movie Stopping Traffick 2, and Dateline NBC To Catch A Predator host, Chris Hansen. Dr. Hamilton also founded the nonprofit, Nissi’s Network Inc. and the for-profit corporation, A Survivor's Voice of Victory. Dr. Hamilton owns and operates her own food pantry, where she serves 2000+ residents a month. To date, A Survivor’s Voice of Victory has given away over ONE MILLION DOLLARS in food and hurricane relief supplies to residents in 3rd Ward, Sunnyside, and Southpark in District D. Dr. Hamilton has cultivated a strong relationship with Crime Stoppers of Houston and the Houston Police Department. The unprecedented relationship has allowed her to teach and train, not just in her community, but also with business professionals. Dr. Hamilton has trained over 57,000 community activists, business professionals, law enforcement agencies, and other nonprofits to recognize, understand, and report human trafficking. Dr. Hamilton is the Human Trafficking Director for Hermann Park Rotary Club 5890, the Event Chair for Child Proof America, and she is the Education Chair for Houston Rescue and Restore Coalition in partnership with United Against Human Trafficking. She often lends her personal expertise and perspectives on high profile cases like Deshaun Watson and Bill Cosby case. She is a TEDx speaker and has worked with Oprah. She was awarded the 2021 International Women’s Month Award. She is also a new faculty member and professor at Elevate Academy, where she teaches and instructs other survivors of human trafficking in an educational setting. Her most recent achievement is setting her first city ordinance in Dallas, Texas, to close sexually oriented businesses from 2am to 6am to reduce crime in the city, and she prevailed greatly as she became the Chair of the Task Force on January 26, 2022. “My primary goal is to train potential victims of human trafficking and other learners how to see warning signs. I teach preventative methods in how to recognize different pimps; which allows learners to gain street experience to reduce slavery,” Dr. Hamilton says. The City of Houston acknowledges Dr. Hamilton as the "Poster Child" for survivorship in Houston after she survived human trafficking as a child and as an adult. C. Anthony Maroulis, a Missouri City Council Member, declared Dr. Hamilton’s freedom from slavery with her own day in Missouri City on January 21, 2020. Dr. Hamilton was also awarded another day in Missouri City on September 7, 2021, acknowledging her expert testimony at the State Capitol that got 3 out of the 4 bills passed that she fought for. Dr. Hamilton has a Bachelor of Science in Technical Management, an MBA in Accounting, an MBA in Human Resources Management, a Police Certification from University of Houston Downtown, and she holds an Honorary Doctorate in Humanitarianism for her global work in human trafficking. Dr. Hamilton wants to have human trafficking labeled as a disability so that the girls who are trafficked have access to the health and human resource services that they need.
