No More Stolen Sisters: Advocating through art for MMIW

FORT ST. JAMES–After realizing that several women have gone missing in his and surrounding communities, Davis Monk, decided it was time to speak up and have his voice heard using art.

“I thought I’d get a group of women together just to show that we could raise awareness,” said Monk in an over the phone interview. And he did just that, he got a group of women together, did their hair and make-up and began to snap away with a camera, creating No More Stolen Sisters.

“I just want the women to have a voice.”–Davis Monk

“He does this on his own time and he doesn’t have to,” said Faith Pierre, a volunteer who took part in the photoshoot.
