Elizabeth Mikotowicz Painting Murals As A Federal Inmate
Artist/entrepreneur/activist

has also been working with state representatives to get better laws on the
table that protect people - some passed.
About Elizabeth Mikotowicz
In her 20's she barely survived a very violent relationship;
he assaulted her with a wooden dowel, and you could see her skull when it
happened. The Drs gave her opioids, and when she refused, they threatened her
with child protective services because she was pregnant and refusing medical
advice. She Was told she was on too small a dose to get addicted. Eventually,
she went to the DV shelter and was turned away, they said her injury was too
severe and it put the other women in danger. She survived because drug dealers
helped her - or took advantage depending on how you look at it. She eventually
went to federal prison for a non-violent drug charge. She endured and witnessed
so much institutional abuse, corruption, systemic racism, and cruelty;
sometimes she still wakes up screaming. But! She's turned it all around and
launched an environmentally friendly feminine brand that is being sold in stores
and comes in plus sizes. She has gotten bills put on the table and passed for
the good of the people- not corporations and institutions. She is letting the
world know what America "land of the free" is doing to its
incarcerated population which is the highest rate in the world. She is also
exposing other systemic abuse and corruption that effects Americans every day.
She is sharing her healing journey and what she has learned about her own
trauma and mental health.
