In recognition of National MMIW Day of Awareness, we are dropping a surprise episode today! Maggie, Osh, and I jumped on a virtual call to explain why MMIW Day is May 5th, and we discussed the tragic stories behind this designation. Today's stories are brutal and graphic, but we must tell them because we can no longer be silent. 

These are the stories of Hanna Harris and Roylynn Rides Horse.
