What is restorative justice and how could it transform our judicial system?
Description
Amanda Carrasco lived through a childhood full of deep, complex trauma.
She endured sexual abuse by her brother, her family was violently murdered and she was left to pick up the pieces. Instead of burying her pain, she did the opposite: Amanda sat face-to-face with her abuser and the man who killed her loved ones. Her goal? The pursuit of truth, accountability and a path to healing.
Host Melanie Ng speaks with Amanda about her shocking new memoir “Becoming The Brave One” and the transformative potential of restorative justice as a way to help survivors and communities.
