Empowered: Finding Home
Empowered is about young women making a major impact serving in leadership positions in underrepresented industries. We are defining underrepresented where 15% or less of a given profession has women in key positions. Each episode focuses on one of the women — their journey, their hardships, their impact, and what they hope to achieve for future generations.
In “Finding Home” we follow Marie Rose, fisher woman and co-founder of the company Shoreline Wild Salmon, which distributes wild caught Alaskan salmon to the midwest of the United States. Originally from Battle Creek Michigan, Marie early on knew she had a trait of making a difference in the world. But it wasn’t the spirit of adventure that drove her to leave rather an abusive relationship that left its scars. While getting a look into Marie’s work as a fisher woman and how she and her two business partners, Joe and Keith, catch and distribute their salmon within Michigan, we learn of Marie’s personal journey of
finding her new home and coming to terms with past demons.
This is an episode that touches on themes of domestic violence, resilience, and adventure on a journey of
sacrifice, and determination, which, by the way, compares similar to the journey of the salmon. Told she would never achieve success, Marie is a force of nature, as she grows into a successful businesswoman and a caring person interested only in the welfare of others.
