The REDEMPTION Movement
Contributed by Juliah Barnett
REDEMPTION is a therapeutic job training program designed for clients of MY House to have the opportunity to feel and heal through clothing design. We provide a safe space for clients who are survivors of trafficking, domestic violence, and other traumatic life experiences to gain confidence in learning new skills and collaborate on creative designs that serve as an outlet for their healing journeys.
This year we have revamped our job training program into a t-shirt printing business with a collection designed by MY House staff and clients. Inspired by the Art Nouveau movement of the 1910s, “The REDEMPTION Movement" collection highlights Alaskan flowers with symbolism and meaning.
Featured Design: The Forget Me Not
Alaska’s State Flower, the Forget Me Not, symbolizes remembrance. At REDEMPTION, we believe our lost loved ones live forever in our hearts and minds and even visit us through spirit animals such as the moose. The Forget-Me-Not Hoodie reminds us to speak their names because although they may be gone, they will never be forgotten.
