The honour of a lifetime to be a witness to these stories. Miigwetch @wookeyfilms and @citynewsto for believing in the importance and power of storytelling. For trusting me. Miigwetch to each and every person who trusted our team with there truth. This film changed my heart and my spirit and helped me to create a new understanding of who I am as a queer person. I am touched by every journey we went on and story we heard. This is life saving work. Front line work. BK, I am so in awe of you. Your bravery to share this moment with the world does not surprise me – it’s what I’ve always seen in you. A warriors spirit, doing the good work and reclaiming all that was always meant for us. My daughter gets to grow up witnessing your journey… that is the revolution. I am still finding the right words to express my gratitude. G’Zaagin Miigwetch to the @thecdnacademy for recognizing this work, for uplifting me and all of us! (Ah shucks!) If you haven’t already seen this film, please find the link in my bio. #indigiqueer on #veracity
