I was born in Val-d’Or (Québec). My father is Anicinabe and my mother is a non-indigenous French Canadian. As a daughter of an indigenous residential school survivor, I was raised outside of my community (Lac Simon). I started reappropriating my culture as an Anicinabe in my adult life and started healing through beading in the beginning of 2025.

I’ve always been interested in the world around me and the fascinating people who bring it to life with their stories and experiences.

Studying and working in communication seems the natural path to take. I’ve started a Bachelor’s Degree at UQAM in communication (journalism) and I’ve worked for different medias like Radio-Canada and APTN.

In 2025, I made a conscious decision to pause and reflect. I realized I wasn’t truly living my life but merely getting by day after day, caught in a system that felt foreign to who I was as a person.

After suffering from a burn out, it’s the art of beading that literally saved me.

I was healing. Each beads I picked up gave me the opportunity to feel again.

It made me feel closer to my true self. For the first time in years, it was easy for me to let go. To let the beads and thread guide me.

For someone who felt disconnected spiritually, I even felt the support of my ancestors. I felt like they would’ve been proud of me.

So, I continued.

And now, I’m launching this space where I can share my art and also my story in the hopes to reach other people that might’ve felt the same way at some point in their life.

I hope to be part of a community that reflects the values of care and kindness in this world that might seem too harsh sometimes.

I hope to keep healing.
