This episode is a continuation on the topic of sexual violence, with a focus on education, media and advocacy by Anishinaabe and Cree women living in Thunder Bay. Host Jayal interviews Tannis Kastern, Anishinaabekwe from Fort William First Nation and community advocate for students at Lakehead University and the community. Tannis shares her story of engaging in advocacy work in higher education. Jayal then sits down with Joyce Hunter, a celebrated Cree journalist and social justice advocate from Peawanuck, on her experiences in the field of media and journalism. Bridging Resistance is an intergenerational storytelling project that amplifies the voices of Indigenous and racialized peoples through radio to foster deep listening and understanding and critical reflection on a personal and community level as a means to address the ongoing impacts of colonialism, racism and exclusion in Thunder Bay, Fort William First Nation and beyond. This radio project is a collaborative effort between a volunteer programmer named Jayal Chung who hosts and produces Queer Radio Hour; Farah Ahmed, host and producer of Racialized the Podcast and Advocacy Coordinator for Racialized Young Professionals Network; and Sarah Nelson, a community advocate who currently works with Matawa First Nations.
