What this episode covers
After the animal-loving teen disappeared from a group home in late January, she was found brutally slain. Indigenous women and girls are vulnerable to being disappeared and fatally harmed, Emily was no exception. We at Black Girl Missing are calling upon our own community to expand the conversation to combat the norms that white supremacy has created.
