In celebration of National Native American Heritage month, we've invited guest speaker Alexa Vrzovski (she/her) on our show! Alexa Vrzovski is a mixed race Indigenous woman from Ahousaht Nation in British Colombia, Canada. Growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood away from her reserve in Ontario, Alexa didn’t begin finding her indigenity until connecting with the Indigenous community at McMaster where she became passionate about traditional practices and politics. Arriving from a place of privilege, Alexa seeks to use her voice to empower and amplify the voice of Indigenous women. Through her work with McMasters Indigenous Health Movement as the community representative she not only raises awareness to the health disparities that are present in Indigenous communities, but deepens her own relationship with her identity, all while working with and meeting incredible people!
