He will speak to youth and adults about his journey from homelessness, alcohol and drugs to where he is today, telling about the challenges of growing up Indigenous in Canada and hoe he was able to overcome them. His sincere and profound way of expressing himself will leave listeners with a deeper understanding of how systemic racism impacts Indigenous peoples and move us to a place where we see that the only alternative is support initiatives that help to create healing and change for Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
