Delivering a keynote at the BCNU Leadership Forum. We discussed the importance of allyship, solidarity, enduring transformation, and ancient wellness practices for self-care and community-care.

My podcast episode with Len Pierre is out! We talked about the friendship centre movement, the heart behind this work, and the way these spaces carry our communities in real time.
Friendship centres are doing essential work for urban and away from home Indigenous peoples, but the federal funding structures that support them are not keeping up. These centres hold culture, care, youth, families, and community safety every single day. Stable and serious investment is overdue, and our communities deserve better.
If you want to learn more about the movement or just hear a real conversation about the work, give it a listen. Link in bio! #indigenousyouth #friendshipcentremovement #nafc #urbanindigenous
