Lani Elliott is a 60s Scoop Survivor who grew up in foster care in the small town of Abernethy, Saskatchewan. As a child, she dreamed of working in law enforcement,...
show moreAlthough starting over was not easy, Lani managed to rebuild her life for the sake of her
sons. With the help of various shelters and organizations, Lani was determined to end
the cycle of violence so that she and her children could live happy, fulfilling lives. Today,
Lani is an accomplished motivational speaker and travels all over North America,
sharing her message of hope and inspiring positive change in those who may be
struggling with the many issues related to domestic violence and sexual violence,
including self-worth, and positive mental health. Lani is passionate about giving back to
her community, and is involved with several different charities throughout the city of
Regina. Her past accomplishments include working as the Co-Director of International
Indigenous Fashion Week Inc., as well as a freelance photographer, a writer and copy
editor for RezX Multimedia Inc., and Co-Producer/Director and Lead Actress for the
Regina production of The Vagina Monologues®, the internationally acclaimed play that
not only raises awareness regarding violence against women, but also empowers
women who are affected by violence. Lani’s own, personal story and poetry have been
featured in Maclean’s Magazine, and has also been featured in three separate
documentaries, including “The War at Home” by award winning film maker, Shelley
Saywell.
Currently, Lani’s passion involves giving presentations to young people in schools
regarding healthy vs. unhealthy relationships, because she strongly believes in the idea
that prevention is better than having to deal with the alternative, and lives with the
philosophy that we need to be whom we needed when we were younger, and hopes
that through her work, one less person will experience violence in their life.
