My work takes place on the stolen, ancestral territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. I commit to deepening my understanding of these lands and its Indigenous peoples, unlearning practices that perpetuate oppression and erasure, and nourishing relations rooted in justice and liberation. Learn whose land you're on.
