The Holy Highway Women Reclaim Their Stories Through Book and Documentary Project
The Holy Highway women are stepping into the light with a powerful documentary and book project that unearths the hidden truths of young women sent to a girls’ home during their high school years. These are not easy stories to tell. They are stories built on pain, resilience, and survival—stories that, for far too long, were silenced. Now, with unshakable courage, these women are reclaiming their voices and their power.
Back in April 2025, they shared a piece of their journey live on KUPR 99.9 FM, holding nothing back. Their words were raw and unfiltered, shaking listeners to the core. That broadcast didn’t just tell stories—it ignited a fire. The response was overwhelming, with messages of support pouring in and conversations sparking about what healing and justice truly look like.
This is not just a project—it’s a reckoning. And it’s only one piece of a much larger fight.
Because The Baddest Collective isn’t just about one group, one cause, or one story. It’s a powerful network of survivors, advocates, and allies confronting the realities of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP), human trafficking, systemic injustice, and the often-overlooked struggles of incarcerated individuals of all ages. From youth caught in a broken system to adults seeking redemption and second chances, we stand beside those society has tried to forget, bringing visibility, resources, and hope.
On Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 5 PM, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this movement will come alive. The Baddest Collective, in partnership with The Dream Team and other powerful organizations, will host a transformative community event—a gathering where voices will rise, truths will be spoken, and healing will take center stage.
Through storytelling, art, and action, this event will create space for real connection and collective power. The Holy Highway women will share their journey alongside other survivors, incarcerated individuals, and advocates, showing the unstoppable force of a community united for justice and healing.
This is more than an event. It’s a call to action. A moment to show up, to stand together, and to prove that no story stays buried, no voice goes unheard, and no life is beyond redemption.
Together, we rise.
Our Stories Deserve to Be Remembered. In Our Words. On Paper.
The internet shifts constantly—details fade, narratives twist, and memories become muddled. Some call it the “Mandela Effect.” That’s why we’re preserving our stories in a form that lasts—paper. Something real. Tangible. Permanent.
We owe it to ourselves, and to those who come after us, to tell the truth of who we are—not the assumptions, not the stereotypes. The real us. The women with strength, with voices, with dreams.
This platform exists so women—of every generation—can be seen, heard, and connected. It’s a space for truth-telling, dream-building, and legacy-making. A place where women can rise, share their message, and inspire others to do the same.
We are more alike than we know. And together, our voices will echo beyond our time.
Let us tell our story. In our own words. From our own mouths.
