Thank you Jackie Dives for your trust in the process of putting this piece together. I'm so glad to see it out in the world today. thetyee.ca/Culture/2024/0…

What's this?! I actually managed to get the GOAT of Indigenous podcasting on my podcast! Check out Cree media pro & host of Media Indigena Rick Harp on this week's Warrior Life Podcast! #Indigenous #firstnations #NativeTwitter #warriorlifepodcast soundcloud.com/pampalmater/ri…

What a week!! I was so excited when I found out I was going to be included in this year’s #time100 list & then was so humbled to read the kind words of Julian Brave NoiseCat when it was published. It made me feel even more emotional about the other big news this week - the end of Stolen...

It’s hard to understate how historic and important this achievement is.

Plus, as Chad Skelton points out, a lot of our content is fun to read! #journalism #localnews thehub.ca/2024-04-11/the…

Dylan Cohen says there are “a number of ways” he’s been “burned by journalists,” as an advocate for former youth in “care.” Yet journalists are “sometimes the only people that can move the dial.” #cdnmedia #childwelfare thetyee.ca/News/2024/04/0…
