'Riverdale's' Marisol Nichols Was A Secret Sex Trafficking Agent For The FBI And I Have SO Many Questions

We all know Marisol Nichols for her role in "Riverdale" as Hermione Lodge, but did y'all know she had a side gig as an undercover agent for the FBI? The freaking Federal Bureau of Investigation!

Not only is she a badass actress, but she has been taking down child sex traffickers for the past six years. Nichols acted as the bait for predators as she either portrayed a parent who's pimping out her child or sometimes even portraying the child – whatever the situation called for, she was there.

I'm dumbfounded. Am I the only one who had no idea this was an actual thing? The FBI pretty much hired her to act, and this is the craziest acting job ever.

Are there other celebrities that have this double life? I can't imagine Justin Bieber being a Hollywood vigilante, but anything is possible. This is proof that a celebrity's lifestyle is never what it seems.

If you're anything like, me you want to know all the details. How did she start? Was she not terrified? Did her friends and family know? I mean, how? Just, how?

Don't worry, Sony Pictures Television and Nichols, herself, are already on it as a TV drama series is on the way. I can't wait for all the juicy details and to learn more about the numerous real-life child sex stings she was a part of.

Sex and human trafficking is modern-day slavery. This type of sexual exploitation is everywhere and impacts all races, ethnicities, genders, and socio-economic classes. After playing detectives on "Law & Order: SVU" and "Cold Case," Nichols wanted to learn more and more about human trafficking – "the underbelly of society."

Then, in 2014, she started a nonprofit, Foundation for a Slavery Free World, and has been an outspoken advocate for the eradication of modern-day slavery ever since. Turns out, around that time period she also met a former government agent who hunted predators, including those associated with internet sex crimes, who asked her: "Hey, you're an actress. Do you want to do an op?"

And, boom! Nichols started to work undercover with the FBI, Operation Underground Railroad, and local law enforcement on child sex sting operations all over the world.

In one word: wild.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
