I am a thankful resident on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of my own people, the Métis nation. As a queer, neurodivergent, Indigenous person, I stand in solidarity with all marginalized people, those they love, and their communities. I condemn all forms of racism, discrimination, and state sanctioned violence. I work to acknowledge my own biases, unlearn them, and improve to work together to build a more just and equitable world
