Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction and crime? Sharon Acoose's story is nothing short of extraordinary. Born into a chaotic environment, Sharon's early years were marked by abuse and a skewed sense of normalcy. By the time she was a teenager, she was entrenched in a life of hard drugs, prostitution, and crime on the streets of Regina, SK.
It was a path that seemed almost inevitable, given that her parents and those around her were caught in the same destructive cycle. But Sharon's journey took a dramatic turn. Despite multiple stints in jail and witnessing countless deaths around her, she found a way out. This episode of 'Hard Knox Talks' with Daniel Unmanageable dives deep into Sharon's harrowing experiences and the incredible transformation that followed.

She emphasizes the importance of cultural identity and community support in her recovery journey.
Her story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is hope for change.
