S01E08 – Nyla Innuksuk, Alicia Lawrence and Miss Christie Lee

On today’s episode we have three fantastic guests. First we’ll be talking to Nyla Innuksuk, an Inuk artist, filmmaker, writer and founder of the production company Mixtape VR. As a writer for Marvel Comics, Nyla co-created the character of Snowguard, a teenage superhero from Pangnirtung, Nunavut. 

Next on the show we have Alicia Lawrence, a Cree-Métis digital artist, graphic designer and creative writer. Alicia works in traditional and digital mediums to produce creative works and compelling messages.

Our musical guest on today’s show is storyteller, poet and hip-hop artist Miss Christie Lee from the Musqueam/tsleilwahtuth Nations. Christie weaves traditional knowledge and language into her music, and in 2018 she became Vancouver, BC’s first Indigenous poet laureate.
