Who are you?
Where are you from?
I am from Piapot First Nation
Why did you want to participate?
I wanted to participate because my sister Helen pumped me up telling me about the shoot and sharing stories of other women and young women.I love story telling/sharing projects.
A defining moment for myself was leaving an abusive relationship. It made me a stronger person because I knew I had it in me to leave a situation that was not only hurting me but also my family.
How are you able to overcome adversity and what did it teach you about yourself?
I was able to overcome this situation with the strength of family and friends who cared for me. Also coming to the realization that I had worth as a young woman in a huge world. It's easy to get lost and forget who we are if we're not so certain of ourselves. Through those trials I am now certain of who I am and where I come from as a person today.
What would you tell a younger version of yourself?
I would tell my younger self to enjoy life, don't be so crazy and love yourself before you try love anyone else.
