“Authoring Indigenomics – A Global Power Shift has been an important journey for me to date. Establishing Indigenomics has allowed me to create space for economic justice, facilitate economic reconciliation and establish a space in consciousness that allows for another worldview that centers on Indigenous wealth and relationships. Indigenomics has taken off within Canada, and globally it has taken me to Bolivia, Guatemala, Hawaii, and beyond. I recently participated in a W20 consultation for input into the G20 and led Indigenous discussions at the forum. The recommendations established were directed to the G20 leadership. Understanding the role of Indigenomics in these national and international discussions has been so uplifting.

I recently traveled to Chile for Global Affairs Canada to work with the Canadian Chilean Embassy and spoke to Indigenous Entrepreneurs, municipalities and Indigenous groups. I was also honored to MC at the World Indigenous Business Forum in Santiago while I was there.”
