SYNOPSIS
Being an ally is not a static identity, but a privileged role one takes on when uplifting marginalized communities. Where there is prejudice, allies offer their position and voice to shut down acts of racism and increase solidarity.
Led by Marissa McIntyre of Len Pierre Consulting this anti-racism training session explores allyship in the context of Indigenous Peoples, while identifying strategies for discussing racism and cultural safety in non-combative ways with your team.

About Marissa McIntyre
Marissa (Kenaytco) McIntyre is a mixed settler and First Nations woman of the Nlaka’pamux Nation born and raised in Surrey, BC. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in First Nations Studies from Simon Fraser University.

Marissa has worked hard to reconnect with her culture over the last ten years and is constantly learning. She is so grateful for the opportunities she has been given to work alongside so many talented and knowledgeable Indigenous people, as well as the opportunity to serve her people by striving for system changes and widespread education.
