Episode #1 Kaylee Nitsiza - Storytelling is in our DNA

The Grande Prairie Friendship Centre is a leading organization in community development, leadership, and comradery. That is why it is a perfect place to host this podcast program that brings together multicultural youth and different generations to learn how to work together and discuss complex topics such as racism, Truth & Reconciliation: @2SLGBTQ+ perspectives, disabilities and much more.

 

Working with young people and providing spaces for them to grow as leaders, and share their ideas and insights into current social problems while encouraging them to share their voices, well let’s just say there is a lot we can learn from the younger generations. That is why I’m excited to share this interview with one of the podcast participants Kaylee Nitsiza. Kaylee might only be 19 years old, but she is beyond her years and is an aspiring journalist who has already had some of her work published. When I hear the passion in her voice when she speaks about storytelling, sharing her culture and taking on being a role model for young people from her community in the Northwest Territories, it’s difficult not to feel inspired.

This podcast would not be possible without the support from Canadian Heritage. Don’t forget to subscribe; every little bit helps spread the word about the incredible work these youth are creating.
