Carleton University was celebrating Louis Riel Day and I was invited to share my story as a Metis woman to an audience of about 15 people. There was a nice group of diverse people that came to listen to my story.
I shared my story growing up and talked about my journey through medical school through adversity and overcoming barriers to demonstrate the resiliency and strength we all develop from experiencing prejudice and stereotypes.
Pemmican, cranberry dessert and juice was served to share our traditional foods.
