Ending the conference, Day Edwards, the Founder of “Boss Babes Who Pray” announced plans to open The House Of Redemption: A safe haven that will house training centers to equip trafficked women with skills that will allow them to tap into the $3.3 Billion dollar gig economy. The very first training center to open, in The House of Redemption, will be “The Dr. Mya Smith Edmonds Training Center”, notably named after Houston's Very Own Dr. Mya Smith Edmonds. The center is slated to open December 2022.

"I am truly honored & so GRATEFUL to have a training center named after me… in my honor. Being a global advocate for the betterment of women Globally has always been what motivates me to DO or BE the change I want to see. The average woman makes about $200/per month in Ghana. Many of these women and young girls are coerced into being trafficked; whether for sex or labor; believing that it’s their only option. I truly believe in the mission, team and heart behind The House of Redemption. I know that the training being provided, will change the lives of so many women in Ghana; giving them a second chance at earning a livable wage and confidence in themselves & their God given abilities & purpose." - Dr. Mya Smith Edmonds.
