Now an acclaimed journalist, she writes for major news outlets to push for justice and to light a path for Indigenous women, girls, and survivors. In her brilliant debut, Sterritt shares her memoir alongside investigative reporting into cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, showing how colonialism and racism led to a society where Sterritt struggled to survive as a young person, and where the lives of Indigenous women and girls are ignored and devalued. 'She could have been me,' Sterritt acknowledges today, and her empathy for victims, survivors, and families drives her present-day investigations into the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women. In the end, Sterritt steps into a place of power, demanding accountability from the media and the public, exposing racism, and showing that there is much work to do on the path towards understanding the truth. But most importantly, she proves that the strength and brilliance of Indigenous women is unbroken, and that together, they can build lives of joy and abundance."--Inside front cover. 600 10 $a Sterritt, Angela. 650 0 $a Women journalists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Indian journalists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Journalists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gitxsan Indians $v Biography. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z British Columbia. 650 0 $a Indian women $x Crimes against $z British Columbia. 650 0 $a Indian women $x Violence against $z British Columbia. 650 5 $a First Nations journalists $v Biography. 651 0 $a Canada $x Race relations. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20240207010558.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231205010610.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03B3E184933C11EEBCD0C43545ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
