Teenage Artillery-Woman's Journey to Hell and Back, in Afghanistan
Manage episode 373456750 series 3318965
Kelsi Sheren grew up in rural Canada, joining the Canadian military at 18, where she was trained to fire the powerful M777 howitzer.
Deployed to Afghanistan in 2008, Kelsi was assigned to multi-national teams serving alongside British and American soldiers, responsible for searching Afghan women as the team entered villages, a task forbidden to her male comrades in that Muslim country.
On one mission, the dramatic death of a fellow soldier and friend to an IED triggered a very debilitating case of PTSD. Kelsi's harrowing journey of loss and recovery makes up the dramatic spine of her book, Brass & Unity.
In this podcast, Kelsi shares her brave journey and how creativity helped her reclaim her life.
