DEIDRE HAIGHT

Deidre is the daughter of Katarina Macleod.

She is passionate about educating people around the harsh realities of what life was like as a young girl whose mother was trapped in the dark world of prostitution and human trafficking. She desires to see others understand that this issue not only affects the victim, but anyone close to the victim – especially her children, if she is a mother.

As a child, Deidre both watched the abuse her mother suffered and suffered abuse herself. Deidre was witness to her mothers’ addictions and has fought very hard to build a healthy life for herself. Deidre found music and singing to be restorative throughout her life. She teaches private music lessons in voice through her business Courageously Creative.

Deidre shares her story as a voice for the children affected by this dark world, and through this story is able to help others find hope and healing
