Ben & Jessica Owen

Ben and Jessica Owen, founders of Flanders Fields and We Fight Monsters, are dedicated to combating opiate and fentanyl addiction and sex-trafficking in the mid-south. Both recovering addicts with a tumultuous past including drug arrests and homelessness, they’ve transformed their struggles into a force for good. Leveraging experiences from running safe houses during the Afghanistan evacuation, they now establish sober-living homes in the U.S., converting dope houses into recovery spaces. Working alongside agencies and street gangs, they embody hope and recovery, turning their once perilous paths into lifelines for others.

Ben and Jessica have experienced first hand the healing offered by Healing the Hero and embraces the disruptive partnership as these healing methods are brought into Memphis, Tennessee to heal their community emotionally.
