In this episode of the 411 Live, Beverly Taylor is joined again by Dr. Angela Rabbit, DO, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Dr. Wendi Ehrman, MD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Adolescent Medicine Specialist at Children’s Hospital as they talk about how the medical world can help survivors of sex trafficking.

Dr. Angela Rabbit and Dr. Wendi Ehrman lead the discussion into a topic that a lot of us often forget, adults. When thinking of victims of sex trafficking, it’s easy for us to shift quickly to kids but we also need to look for adults as well. We dive into the process of how medical professionals are should be trained to handle situations with survivors of sex trafficking from the right terms to use to every step that needs to be taken after that. There has been progress in how the medical field prepares and approaches the world of sex trafficking. There are always areas that can be improved on and Dr. Wendi Ehrman and Dr. Angela Rabbit talk about those who are willing to learn and what they can do to prepare themselves to treat a person who has been trafficked. Join Beverly Taylor and our guests as we get real. This is the 411 Live.

MEET THE TEAM

BEVERLY TAYLOR, HOST

Beverly Taylor is a prober, listener and talker. She utilized all those skills as an anchor and reporter at WITI-TV (Fox 6 News). During her 21 years there, Beverly became a very recognized face in southeast Wisconsin. The most rewarding aspect of the job for her was telling stories that make a positive difference in people’s lives and stories that bring awareness. That included multiple stories about sex trafficking, which makes this podcast about the subject a logical fit.

For her efforts, Beverly has received a lot in return. She’s met people in different stages of life: during their most joyous times, their most vulnerable times, and their most painful times. These people have given Beverly tremendous examples of courage, generosity and determination.

Beverly has received many honors for her reporting, including three EMMY nominations. The University of Tennessee graduate also has a Master’s Degree in Dispute Resolution from Marquette University. She left TV news in December of 2019. Resolving conflict is another way she hopes to make a positive difference in the lives of others. She is a video production contractor, voice-over artist and podcaster.

Putting God first is a constant aim for Beverly. She is a member of New Testament Church of Milwaukee, and loves hanging out with her husband Julian and son, Nate.
