I just want to emphasize how important this entire interview is and the work that she is doing, and I just I am spreading our gratitude out to her all the way in Canada.
Melissa and Cody Kreutz are back with a thought-provoking episode of 'We Are The Stigma'. This time, they sit down with Elaine Alec, a best-selling Canadian author, political advisor, and women's advocate. Elaine's life journey is nothing short of inspiring. She's a direct descendant of hereditary chiefs Pelkamulaxw and Soorimpt and has devoted her life to advocating for indigenous women and girls.
In this episode, Elaine shares her wisdom on the power of self-love and the importance of healing from trauma. She dives into the concept of creating safe spaces, not just for indigenous communities but for everyone striving to recover and grow. Her insights into self-care and spirituality offer a refreshing perspective on personal healing. One of the most impactful parts of this conversation is the discussion around Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG).
Elaine sheds light on the ongoing tragedy known as The Highway of Tears, a dark chapter that many are unaware of. This segment is both eye-opening and heartbreaking, leaving Melissa and Cody—and likely you—more aware of the privileges we often take for granted. Elaine's story is a testament to resilience and hope. She emphasizes that even in a world that can seem overwhelmingly bleak, there are beautiful souls doing meaningful work.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of advocacy and the impact one person can make. Tune in to hear Elaine Alec's compelling narrative and gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing indigenous communities today.
