Brandi Morin On Her Arrest

Warrior Life Podcast Brandi Morin on Her Arrest On today's episode of the Warrior Life Podcast, I get to talk to one of my sheroes - Brandi Morin from Michel First Nation. She is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and one of the most dedicated and compassionate Indigenous journalists in North America. While performing her duties as a journalist, sharing the stories of homeless Indigenous peoples, she was arrested by the cops and now faces obstruction of justice charges. This is yet another example of the criminalization of Indigenous journalists by the cops and an attack on the core tenet of democracy - a free and open media. Let's support Brandi as much as we can during this stressful process.
