What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? In this engaging episode of the Voices In Recovery Podcast, listeners are treated to a candid conversation between hosts David Lewry and Darcy about the annual Valentine's Day March for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S). This event, held at Scarborough United Church, is a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and remembrance.
Without the presence of law enforcement, the atmosphere is notably more peaceful, allowing attendees to honour and grieve in a supportive environment. The episode also touches on broader societal issues, including the importance of centring voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour. David shares personal anecdotes about his art piece, a creative expression of pain and resistance, and the unexpected reactions it provoked online.
Through humour and heartfelt discussion, this episode highlights the complexities of finding safe spaces and building community in a world that often feels divided. It’s a testament to the power of storytelling in healing and recovery. So, what steps can you take to create or find your own supportive community?
