Thank you to APTN InFocus and host Darrell Stranger for having me on their episode that highlighted the importance of Indigenous youth organizing. I was one of 4 folks interviewed for this and was honoured to talk about the importance of language, We Need Everyone and what I mean when I say revolution!

At the invitation of Relational Activists and family helpers based out of Camden, London in the United Kingdom, Michael answered these questions and more!

How would you describe the work that you do?

What motivates you to do it?

How do you know it is making a difference?

Does the North End need an Arts & Cultural Centre? What about The Palace Theatre? Please share your thoughts in this survey and help us make these dreams come true! Thank you to North End Community Renewal Corperation for all their work in bringing this work to fruition.

Christine M’Lot is a Anishinabe educator who has developed a fantastic series of 3 videos around goal setting and the medicine wheel. After checking them out myself, I can tell you that you would benefit, especially as we look to 2021, from making sure you are setting goals in a good way. This tool allows us to do just that.
