I am a settler with the privilege of working and living on the traditional, ancestral territories of the Katzie (q̓ic̓əy̓) and Kwantlen (qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓) First Nations. I believe in the inherent humanity and dignity of every person, regardless of ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, culture, or socioeconomic status, and in each individual’s right to self-determination.
