In the fourteenth episode of my third season, I am joined by Fallon Farinacci to overthink about qualifying.
We dive into:
• Trauma and survivor guilt
• Owning our stories, our successes, how we show up in spaces
• Self reflection
Fallon Farinacci is Red River Métis and a child survivor, advocate and speaker for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+. Fallon testified in the National Inquiry for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, sharing her story of loss and trauma. Later Fallon joined The National Family Advisory Circle, where she worked closely with other MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ family members and the Commissioners for the National Inquiry. Fallon continues to share her family’s story in hopes of bringing change & awareness across Turtle Island.
To find more information about Fallon's Go Fund Me page – In memory of her parents and her older brother to raise awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people while Celebrating the Resilience of Indigenous Peoples, please visit www.gofundme.com/f/Celebrate-Indigenous-Resilience. 100% of the funds raised from this fundraiser will go towards supporting Indigenous women.
As always, theme song produced, recorded, mixed, by John Mullane for LMOAI. Written by John Mullane.
