I am a racialized immigrant that supports international partnership, research, and activities at the University of Manitoba campuses on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininewuk, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate and Denesuline, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, I acknowledge the harms and mistakes. As a Canadian and a global citizen, I dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of Reconciliation and collaboration through continuous education and dialogues.
