The Prince Edward County Arts Council presents a new Indigenous Voices series. I will be there giving a talk on December 8, 2022. More info below:
Join us for the official launch event of the Prince Edward County Arts Council's (County Arts') Indigenous Voices Series - In Conversation with Jennifer Podemski and Shelby Lisk: The Arts as a Platform for Indigenous Storytelling and Activism. We are so honoured to welcome these two esteemed artists for this crucial conversation. Please view their Artist Bios below.
Entry is free or by donation, with all proceeds going to Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na (TTO), a non-profit dedicated to revitalizing Mohawk language and culture in Tyendinaga. Please reserve your spot below. (Please note that a credit card processing fee and ticketing fee will be added to your donation amount.) We can also accept cash donations at the event. Macaulay Church Museum is located at 23 Church Street, Picton, Ontario, K0K 2T0.
The Indigenous Voices Series is funded by County Arts' newly established Indigenous Voices Fund, made possible through a $30,000 multi-year donation from a resident committed to advancing our community's truth and reconciliation efforts, and the inclusion of Indigenous voices. Learn more on our website.
On June 15, we will be screening a film that Josh Lyon and I have been working on with the Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest about the relationship between Indigenous language learning and Land. Onhwéntsya táhnon Onkwawén:na / Aki miinawaa Gdi-nowendaaganag (Land and Language) follows the creation of the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Garden on Highway 15 and the urban Indigenous language learners who have come to connect with their languages (Anishinaabemowin and Kanyenkeha) on the land.

Please join us on Thursday, December 16 for a community screening of the film documentation of the project "Healing through Storytelling”.
Join us for a screening of Rematriate: Passing the Seeds by Shelby Lisk, and a discussion on paths to food sovereignty with Ama Amponsah of Seed Change Canada, and Professors Nikki Auten (Indigenous Studies, Fleming College) and Priscilla Settee (Indigenous People’s program, University of Saskatchewan).

Film screening & discussion on Zoom
On August 15, my film “Rematriate: Passing the Seeds” played at an outdoor screening at the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show with Breakthroughs Film Festival, alongside a program of short films by Indigenous filmmakers. It was the first public screening I have been able to attend since COVID.
I was chosen as one of 20 Emerging BIPOC filmmakers. To see all twenty check it out here.
Hi friends, I hope you will take a minute (actually about 25) and listen to my first ever podcast episode! I interview the wonderful, funny, smart Anishinaabe artist and filmmaker, Jamie Whitecrow, about her work and inspirations, using comedy to talk about taboo subjects, representations of Indigenous people on screen, and the unfair boxes and expectations that are placed on Indigenous creatives. We also discuss one of her current projects, a mockumentary called "The First Indigenous Female Pornographer" - that's all I'll tell you. Listen to find out more:

In the second segment, we get into chatting about more of my journalism, documentary work, learning Indigenous languages, amongst other things
