In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting a young woman who is already making history—Eliani.
A high school student.
A voice for the voiceless.
A leader in the fight against human trafficking.
Eliani stood before the Broward County Commission and confidently accepted A21 Fort Lauderdale’s proclamation—designating January 2026 as Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
But she didn’t just accept it… she spoke. She used her voice to bring awareness to a crisis too many ignore.
Because of leaders like Eliani, this proclamation represents more than words:
➡️ A commitment to education and awareness across Broward County
➡️ A recognition of the life-changing, trauma-informed work of the Nancy J. Cotterman Center
➡️ A call to action to prevent and end human trafficking
This is what Women’s History Month is about.
Not just honoring the women who came before us—
but celebrating the ones rising right now 💫
Eliani is proof that you don’t need a title, age, or permission to lead.
You just need courage.
And she has plenty of it. 💙
