Rae Bennett Honors Her Late Mother - MMIWG2S

Описание: September 1st, 1997 is the day Raechel (Rae) Bennett found out her mother, Sandra Calahasen, went missing. Sandra's body would not be discovered until almost two years later, on August 4th, 1999, the day before Rae's birthday.

The life that Rae's lived after that tragedy was difficult. She experienced drug use, violence, and homelessness. Slowly but surely, she realized that the path of destruction was not the one she wished to take. Using many different healing modalities, she abandoned the darkness and found the courage to break the vicious intergenerational circle.

Today, Rae lives a life filled with joy and peace. She became an advocate for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit People. She works as an Aboriginal Educator and regularly shares her story with young students. Her journey of healing and advocacy has a long and bright future.
