The #MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit) epidemic is not new. It is rooted in a long history that began with our Taíno ancestors.

Refuse the script being disseminated to us through pop psychology media personalities with cult followings.

The term "narcissistic abuse" didn’t emerge from survivor-led spaces or peer-reviewed research into systemic harm. It was popularised by Sam Vaknin, an Israeli writer, convicted financial fraudster, and self-identified "narcissist."

Your anger and sadness are valid. Your boundaries are necessary. Your resistance is justified. Stop looking for a diagnosis for the people who hurt you, and start looking at the power structures that protect them. Name your truth about what has happened/is happening to you.
