From Sukey to Cece : Enslaved Through the Ages

This is the story of two women whose lives fell into the wrong hands.

Very early in their lives, men violated them instead of loving and caring for them.

Sukey was born enslaved in the south in the 1800s and found her freedom in the cornfields of Illinois.

Cece was abandoned at birth in Chicago, Illinois and found a different freedom in the cornfields of Illinois.

Young author Devine Chepape learned about both the slavery of old and sex trafficking of today, which affects women and men of all colors all around the world.

Devine and young illustrator Ellie are sharing what they've learned with teen readers.
