I am excited to announce and honoured to be the first Indigenous global yoga ambassador for @lululemon. 🦅♥️
I am here as an extension of not only myself but of my Mètis and Nêhiyaw lineage, a representation of the matriarchs that came before me and the future generation that has yet to come.
I am here because of the community around me, that has been on the journey thus far of each death and rebirth.
I am here because of my connection to Creator and to ceremony, within my culture and to yoga itself. Both of these practices saved my life and I believe both have the ability to change the world.
Hay hay, thank you, to @lululemon, for bringing my vision to life through this campaign, to my mentor @iamnehiyaw and Angie for being a guide with the language itself, to Indigenous kin on set with me,
stylist @scottwabano, hair by @lorose_, makeup by @starrlygladue , director and camera operator, @kaayla_whachell, music by @_yaboi4am, and to the crew + production behind the scenes at @lululemon.
As well as to my mentors, Kevin, Taran, Gail, Ray, (in the physical + spirit world) for always believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. To the all Indigenous team at @matriarch.movement.
We have the ability to embody the future we seek and it’s making sure it’s inclusive to all.
It starts with honouring and healing our relationships, our shared history, the land, the teachings, the lineages that they come from, and the present moment. ✨🌿
