Michelle’s trajectory changed when she met Kim Law, a volunteer life coach who teaches classes to people in prison. Today, Kim and Michelle are doing the difficult work of unraveling Michelle’s history of her traumatic childhood and her experiences in the Florida criminal justice system. Throughout the film Michelle’s artwork provides her own depiction of the trauma she survived as well as a means to her recovery. Being Michelle is a powerful story of redemption.
