Our Story:

In response to the growing number of clients reporting being trafficked, MY House wanted to create a program that provides a safe space for these youth clients to feel and heal while building confidence in themselves as they reenter the workforce. Thus, the REDEMPTION clothing line was born.

What REDEMPTION means to us:

The word redemption is a bold and powerful word with many definitions. For us, it means being resilient in the face of adversity, learning healthy ways of moving through grief and loss, having a positive attitude while navigating winding roads and uphill journeys, and doing the inner work to feel at peace with yourself. At REDEMPTION, we embrace the attitude of Alaskans and the core values of recovering from trauma.
