Yá’at’ééh and welcome back to the Healthy Navajo K’é podcast. In recognition of April's Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we are deeply honored to host founding members Jolene Holgate, Meskee Yatsayte, and Vangie Randal Shorty, of the Miss and Murdered Diné Relatives Coalition (MMDRC) in today's episode.

Tune in as we engage in a conversation about the vital work of the MMDRC, shedding light on their mission, available resources for families whose loved one have gone missing, and strategies for fostering allyship with those impacted by sexual assault within the Diné community.

Together, let's explore creating safer environments for survivors to share their experiences and explore avenues for healing and support. Join us in amplifying the voices of resilience and advocating for justice and empowerment.
