international indigenous speaker
Connecting with audiences, and sparking their interest to move the needle on IDEA.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) belongs everywhere because our lived experiences shape who we are and how we see the world.
I speak about Indigenous history while talking about practical steps to move forward and create transformational change – two pieces that are very much intertwined. I weave the themes of respect, courage, learning, and growth through my presentations – highlighting whatever the needs of the setting or the group require.
Whether I am instructing, facilitating or speaking, I rely on teachings that resonate with people and communicate to them that no matter where you are on your journey, you can continue to grow. There is no fixed end to knowledge and we all have the opportunity to grow together.
Kiskēyihtamowin (Knowledge) Journey towards knowing
Whatever audience I am speaking to – whether it’s municipal employees, corporate professionals, construction workers, University students or schoolchildren – my approach is the same: to put people at ease so together we can focus on having important (and sometimes uncomfortable) conversations about Indigenous history and rights, and the importance of moving the needle on Indigenous Inclusion and Truth & Reconciliation.
