Utah folk artist Kate MacLeod has released a powerful new song titled “The Woman You Will Never Know” in honor of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, which takes place on May 5. The song, which was released on April 23, sheds light on the tragic reality of indigenous women whose lives are cut short due to violence.
MacLeod, who has a personal connection to the issue through her own experiences with abuse and activism, hopes that her song will serve as a gesture of empathy towards the victims. Inspired by a woman she met during a Grand Canyon River Trip who worked on finding missing indigenous women, MacLeod’s song captures the lost potential of lives that are taken too soon.
Known for her passion for music and dedication to social justice causes, MacLeod regularly donates her time and music to organizations like Adopt-a-Future and Pandos. She also teaches workshops and performs at various events to spread awareness and support for important causes.
Listeners are encouraged to consider donating to organizations like Native Hope and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA to support the ongoing efforts to address this issue. MacLeod will be playing shows this summer, and fans can stay updated on her upcoming performances by visiting her website.
Through her music and activism, Kate MacLeod is using her platform to bring attention to the plight of missing and murdered indigenous women and advocate for justice and change.
