Hi, I’m Darcy Mohamed.
I survived and escaped human trafficking. My story of courage, determination, perseverance and compassion in the face of still insurmountable obstacles has inspired many. I didn’t do it alone though.
Even while alone in my prison, I had community to guide and help me through it all. They weren’t present but the memory of those I’ve known throughout my lifetime sat beside me in my despair. They kept me alive when it was easier to die.
As I try to recover, my memories of community and lessons learned are making it easier along with the actual community who now surrounds and supports me. I am forever grateful to them all.
I believe that community can help us overcome any obstacles we face. The larger and more diverse, the better. My community is humanity itself. Come join us and
Let’s Rise Together!

This is a website dedicated to community and the lessons learned. I believe that we can overcome almost anything with the wisdom, compassion and abilities of a diverse community.
I managed to do just that while enslaved in a human trafficking ring. I suffered from amnesia but the life lessons from the diverse communities I’ve been a part of and experiences I had stayed with me through it all. I survived because of them.
While I am still fighting for my freedom and justice, I am also trying to educate others and pay it forward. Inshallah, this will help us rise together because
Every life matters, especially yours.

I am not an expert in anything. My life experiences, education and careers have been diverse. One could say that I am a jack of all trades but master of none.
-
We are all unique individuals with different experiences, needs, abilities and wisdom to share. They are all valid. If something works for you or helps you, Great! If not, maybe we can figure out something that will. That’s how community works. Contact me and let’s keep trying through community.
-
I don’t ask that you trust me. It is best to not fully trust anyone. We must each decide for ourselves.
To that end, I am not trying to scam anyone. I have had not just our traffickers looking for any possible way of blackmailing or discrediting me but the entire criminal organization; various law enforcement organizations; medical professionals and the public. I believe that speaks volumes to my character.
Darcy Mohamed
I see everyone as their own unique, beautiful self and a part of my family. It might be why people everywhere claim me as one of their own. It is my pride and joy.
I am a gifted Audhder. I love to learn about people and everything they are passionate about. I have lived in various states, places and situations with diverse people. It is how I learned much about life and our world.
I studied forensic science with the goal of becoming a medical examiner. I worked in accounting firms helping small to medium sized businesses. I was married and divorced three times. Then I became disabled at 33 years old from my lifelong ME/CFS.
At 47 years old, I was bedridden and trafficked along with my mother. I had to successfully treat my disease with no known treatments in order to survive. My mom was murdered a year in. I escaped at 49 years old after they threatened to prostitute three and seven year old girls.
At 51 years old, I still scream for justice and freedom but nobody replies.

My maternal grandmother was born to Prussian immigrants. My maternal grandfather’s family were established German Americans. My grandmother was Protestant and my grandfather was Catholic.

I regret to inform you that I only know English fluently. Living with non native English speakers, I developed a unique blend of bits of various languages that friends called Darcy English. It is like Spanglish. I call it my parlor trick of languages.
Some languages include: Arabic, Spanish, French, Hassaniya, Yiddish, Hebrew, Senegalese languages, etc.

I acquired it out of survival and it comes out frequently.

I have also had connections to Northern Kentucky besides living there for a short while.
I lived briefly in Irving, Texas. I have roots in Appalachian Tennessee.
I may be an American but I’ve always been the outsider. I adapt well and frequently.
-
Yes. I have heard the rumors my whole life. I don’t think of myself as being particularly intelligent. I find intelligence in and learn from everyone.

A high school diploma and an Associate’s degree from a program that lost its accreditation. In other words, nothing.

ME/CFS is a neuroimmune disease that is believed to be triggered by a viral infection like the common cold or COVID. It is complex and causes a variety of symptoms and co-morbidities. Some people who acquired Long Covid qualify for an ME/CFS diagnosis.
In the very severe stage it is equated to the final weeks of an AIDS patient’s life but we can remain like that for decades. I equate it to being deathly allergic to life itself. The food keeping you alive makes you vomit. The touch of soft sheets causes incredible pain. A simple conversation is beyond exhausting and painful. It is why it is aptly nicknamed The Living Death.
-
I became disabled in 2008. I was diagnosed with ME/CFS and various co-morbidities at that time although I acquired it as a child. I don’t remember a day without it.
-
I have to take small doses of cannabis/hemp products to keep my disease in check.
When it is well regulated, I take a gummy at night so that I don’t feel intoxicated. I don’t like being intoxicated.
When I have done too much or it is flaring up, I have to take it more often and in higher doses to compensate. It is an obnoxious balancing act.
