Renowned activist, author, and healthcare leader Theresa Caldwell Jenkins will be honored with the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award at a ceremony at MGM National Harbor. This prestigious recognition celebrates her tireless efforts as a survivor of child sex trafficking and her groundbreaking work to raise awareness, foster resilience, and inspire change.
Theresa’s advocacy journey began with her powerful memoir, A Diary from Hell: A Child Being Sold in America, a bestselling account of her survival story that has touched millions worldwide. Her follow-up book, The Ripple Effect: Dancing with the Scars of Human Trafficking, delves deeper into the healing process, offering hope and empowerment to those affected by similar traumas. Together, these works have established her as a leading voice in the fight against human trafficking.
In addition to her literary accomplishments, Theresa has been a vocal advocate at the Georgia State Capitol, where she has been recognized for her leadership and contributions to the fight against human trafficking.

Her academic achievements underscore her commitment to effecting change in both individual lives and systems of care.
Theresa’s story is deeply rooted in resilience. Born on September 18, 1973, in Cincinnati, Ohio, she overcame a challenging childhood shaped by adversity. Today, she is not only a voice for the voiceless but also a role model for countless individuals seeking to transform their pain into purpose.
Adding to her inspiring narrative is her family heritage—Theresa is a proud descendant of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, through her grandmother Marion Clay, who was Ali’s first cousin.
