Our Founder

My name is Destiny Merchant, a native of Harlem, New York, who transplanted her passion for justice to Atlanta, Georgia, where she embarked on a distinguished career in law enforcement.

During my seven year career, I ascended the role of Detective, specializing in human and child trafficking cases. With an unwavering commitment to combatting these heinous crimes, I collaborated closely with various federal and state agencies, emerging as a leading figure in the fight against human exploitation. Through my tireless efforts, I orchestrated the rescue of numerous trafficking victims, bringing hope and justice to those ensnared in such atrocities.

Driven by dedication, I then founded “The Merchant Movement” a non-profit organization, dedicated to eradicating human and child trafficking.

With a vision to extend an impact nationwide, I strive to expand this movement, leveraging collective efforts to locate, rescue, and support victims of trafficking across the country. With courage, compassion, and relentless pursuit of justice, my desire is to stand as a beacon of hope in the battle against modern-day slavery.
