Owen Pelletier was born into abandonment, neglect, and addiction. Placed in the child welfare system at a young age, Owen found himself being exposed to racism, rejection, and discrimination. He quickly learned survival in the form of retaliation and isolation.
Owen discovered that drugs, alcohol, violence and individuals such as himself were the answers to his circumstances. His membership and activities with a Regina street gang fuelled a lifestyle of crime, violence and general negativity which eventually led to incarceration.
On this episode, hear how Owen made the decision to use his life experiences to help those who are struggling with the same realities that he has survived.
