In this powerful new episode of Let’s Imagine, host Bruce MacDonald welcomes Eden Fineday — award-winning nêhiyaw (Cree) journalist, changemaker, and Publisher of IndigiNews. Eden leads IndigiNews through a lens of cultural safety and actively works to decolonize journalistic practices. She is also the founder and CEO of tâpwêwin media, an Indigenous-led nonprofit that acquired IndigiNews in 2025, and co-founder of the Indigenous Media Association of Canada.

 

Eden recently contributed a series of articles to Imagine Canada’s HR Intervals, helping nonprofits better navigate complex people management issues with a focus on equity, reconciliation, and anti-racism. Her work challenges organizations to move beyond surface-level inclusion toward building genuinely safe, culturally grounded workplaces.

 

Join Bruce and Eden as they explore how nonprofits can rethink power, hiring, and leadership to foster deeper cultural safety for Indigenous, Black, and racialized staff.
