In honor of May being National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Month, Brit sits down with Red River Métis woman and survivor Fallon Farinacci to hear her story—and how a series of tragic events set her on a path toward tremendous advocacy and change for her community.

Fallon’s Celebrate Indigenous Resilience GoFundMe can be viewed at this link. All proceeds go to the Abbey House and Manitoba Metis Federation St. Eustache Local. 

 

If you or someone you know is a victim of stalking, you can reach out to the VictimConnect Resource Center by phone or text at 1-855-484-2846, or you can chat online at victimconnect.org.
