Lissa Yellow Bird-Chase: From Addiction to Advocacy for Justice
“This story is about how someone who was broken was able to find a new purpose and a new way of being in the world, and that's something that I think everyone can relate to. - Vic Vela”
What if the hardest moments of your life became the driving force behind your purpose? That's the story of Lissa Yellow Bird-Chase, an Arikara woman who has turned her struggles with addiction and abusive relationships into a mission of justice. In this episode of 'Back from Broken', hosted by Vic Vela, Lissa shares her extraordinary journey from the depths of despair to becoming a beacon of hope for missing and murdered Indigenous people.
Growing up in predominantly white communities, Lissa faced racism and domestic violence, which led her down a path of addiction. But her story didn't end there. Through spiritual teachings and messages she received while in prison, Lissa found healing and a new sense of purpose. She now dedicates her life to investigating unsolved murders, giving a voice to the voiceless and bringing attention to the crisis affecting Indigenous communities. Her resilience and determination are truly inspiring.
If you're looking for a story that shows the power of faith, purpose, and the human spirit, this episode is a must-listen.
