So right around the time when I started to find my voice I also realized the power of of someone's voice and what it means to be silenced and also what it means to reclaim space. That started when I was probably a young teenager.

OK so when did you start becoming like very politically active. It was something like you said I'm very passionate about it but it's also it's my authentic voice it's where I come from. So it just seemed like a no brainer for me. And you're talking to someone from America. And when I started to realize that I was going to be an artist I realized that the only story is that I was interested in when the stories of my people and I knew that there was so much work and so much space for us to still claim so many people don't know anything about indigenous people. I don't know if there was like an exact moment but I think I grew up in a really politically active family. But like at what point did you think that this was something that you wanted to do. Now I know that you work with Indigenous people and I can tell you're really passionate about it. I'm South America and also what Indigenous people are working on all over the world to change the perception of indigenous people and the work that we're doing. So you don't just like focus on just the indigenous people in Canada your looks like on the global scale. I do have a show called rise and it's really about Franklin resistance and all of the movement that's happening for Indigenous people across the world really. But you also have your own show on Iceland right. So I'm finished Nabi which is Ojibwe and I'm from Northern Ontario on the shore of Lake Superior. So I think the word you're referring to is a National Bakery. I know I cannot pronounce Can you pronounce it. Now I saw that you come from a Syrian like tribe or like nation. But truly I am a storyteller I use any medium I can get my hands on to amplify the voices of my people and to tell our collective stories as human beings.

So it took me a long time to actually decide that that was the best way to describe what I do. You're a storyteller and you're also a host for Iceland correct. Now I know I just introduced you as an activist but that's barely the tip of the iceberg of you. And today we're going to hear from the incredible serene Fox serene is an indigenous Canadian activist who has been helping young indigenous Canadians to reconnect with their culture at the story boot school. These are incredible humans that inspire us to do better and to be better. They take a challenge and they turn it into an opportunity. But you know some humans go that extra mile. Now we're all born with the same potential.
