I heard Allison Russell for the first time during Farm Aid on Saturday. I’m also seeing others in my community with a similar message, speaking up and protecting future generations.
One of my favorite parts of the article is when she tells her 8-year-old daughter "the buck stopped with me. The intergenerational abuse stopped with me. It's never going to touch you."
Speaking about her album, Outside Child, she said, "There's a story of intergenerational trauma. But there's also a story of intergenerational resilience and strength and ability to survive. I wanted to amplify and uplift that."

Allison Russell is using her album "Outside Child" to show that survivor's joy exists, and she's proof of it.
