Lani Brennan, a young woman of Aboriginal and Maori descent, was raised in an urban Aboriginal community in Sydney. Her childhood home was filled with love, but also with alcoholism and violence. By 13, she was in a cycle of drug and alcohol abuse herself.
She ended up in a relationship with a young Aboriginal man from her community and soon became trapped in a situation she almost didn't survive. After a particularly vicious night of violence, Lani finally found the courage to leave, committed to healing herself and getting sober. At this time, she met John, the man who would become her partner, the father of her children and the reason she sought justice for the crimes committed against her. Now a role model for Aboriginal and abused women, Lani Brennan is a powerful example of a life transformed. She has changed the outlook of women in her community by finding the strength to stand up against violence.
