Hello (Tansi) Everyone.
I would like to start off with a big thanks to all of the organizers within NENAS and NAHO who made everything possible.

I was really nervous with this being my first official trip speaking for the role model program.

It was also my first trip out to British Columbia and it was super warm and had beautiful scenery.

I was surprised with how accommodating everyone was and I was able to feel comfortable and relax a bit. I had an awesome time talking to the youth, some of them even talked to me after the workshops and at the performances.

I liked how the kids listened really well and got my cheap jokes. On a few occasions I was put on the spot with really good questions.

I had a good time making friends with the other workshop facilitators; Red Power Squad, Tracy Bone, J C Campbell and Niska Napoleon.

I had a great time attending their performances and hanging out with them.

The organizers decided that Niska and I should both do workshops together and it really helped. We were able to help each other out and keep each other on track.

I’m really grateful to have had the opportunity to meet all of these awesome people and I think became a more confident speaker thanks to their help and support.
