Unfiltered: The Raw Reality of Addiction and the Power to Rise
In this honest and heart-opening talk, Marrisa shares her real-life journey growing up in a loving home and stepping into heroin addiction and homelessness then finding her way to healing, recovery, and purpose. Speaking directly to teens with unflinching truth and deep compassion, she sheds light on the choices and consequences she endured, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life. This is more than a story—it’s a reminder that no matter how far you fall, there’s always a way back.
