Bridge builder, edge walker, peace maker and now Canadian Senator, Michèle Audette talks with Jennifer about her call to “shake a country”. In this episode they talk about the power of being from two different worlds (Innu and Quebecois) and how to forge a path of social change, justice and reconciliation. Michèle shares key lessons from activism and time as Commissioner on the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. She reveals:

how to sustain ourselves when leading high profile initiatives
the transforming power of love and reciprocity in a legal setting
the 1 expression she wants to leave behind

Tune in for a wise conversation on how to stand up against policies designed to erase Indigenous peoples and bridge divides in a country in reckoning. Michèle shows us a path to dissolve our divides to support the emergence of a postcolonial world.
