Mishoo miinwaa Noki ~ You, Me and Wrinkles – The Elder Abuse Prevention Podcast

"We need to kiss that monster on the nose,” said Ronat John, M’Wikwedong Indigenous Friendship Centre. Sheatre presents the audio drama and talk series “Mishoo miinwaa Noki ~ You, Me And Wrinkles” (aka "Wrinkles"). With one in six seniors facing abuse, "Wrinkles" uses authentic voices -- both English and Ojibwe – to tell true stories that inspire listeners to bring elder abuse out of the shadows and normalize talking about it. Listen alone – or host listening parties to share local ideas. Go to sheatre.com for more information. "Wrinkles" contains scenes of violence against seniors, strong language, and frank discussion. Listener discretion is advised.
