CREATING AWARENESS
Making Change
A social entrepreneur from her university days, Lisa is focused on supporting education and building community here in Canada and around the world. She champions changemakers, offering resources rather than solutions. Always trying to do things differently, Lisa early on developed a passion for building awareness surrounding the impact of colonialism on the relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples.
Lisa is currently working on a feature film in development highlighting racism against Indigenous women.

EQUINOX AWARENESS ALLIANCE
Longstanding shared misinformation and unconscious bias has led to conflict, racism, and inequity between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous populations. This injustice motivated Lisa to create the national public awareness campaign, Equinox. Equinox is striving to change this long-standing paradigm through increased education, awareness and engagement.
