Last week, I presented about reclaiming academia through indigeneity at IndiGENcon. Being able to introduce myself in my native language with my Indigenous name in front of other Indigenous knowledge-seekers is a feeling I won’t soon forget. 🖤 Thank you @GenProgram!

@indigenouscrim 🙌🏼 yes! So glad you were a part of it!
