Shifting Worries into Wonders: Finding Joy in My Cousin's Legacy
My amazing cousin Jesse Jones, I was helping to get him ready for being honoured as one of the carvers on 1 of the 6 poles raised in Skidegate 2001. I dressed him in my regalia, it was a moment I will never forget. He didn't want me to take his picture, but I am so grateful I did.
K'waahlghlda: The Wisdom of the Sea
At the core of K'waahlgahlda is a mission that beats with a powerful rhythm: to live heart first and turn barriers to bridges. For me, this mission is personal. It's about creating bridges between minority and majority peoples, eliminating divisions, and celebrating the beauty of differences. In every ripple of K'waahlgahlda, there's a heartbeat—a rhythm that echoes the journey of my life, and the mission to issue an invitation to change tide your tide, and open hearts to new opportunities and perspectives.
