"Some families come up and ask me if they can put a picture of a loved one my car," Radek said.
She is also in the process of making a documentary about grassroots initiatives around the MMIW issue.
Her niece Tamara Chipman, went missing in 2005 along B.C.'s infamous highway of tears. Since then, she's walked or driven across Canada six times for missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Over the years, she's heard more than 4000 stories about missing and murdered Indigenous women, she said.
