From your well-known nurse injector, Sarah—a proud First Nations woman with status, a business owner, a mother, and a generational cycle breaker.
I come from a hardworking family where we didn’t always have much. I carry those beginnings with me as I build a future for my child, honouring where I come from while working to change what gets passed down.
As a First Nations woman, Truth and Reconciliation is personal. As a mother, it touches a part of my heart that words can barely reach.
I think about someone coming and taking my child from my arms. Hearing him cry for me and being unable to hold him, protect him, or tell him that he is safe. Not knowing where he is, how he is being treated, or whether he will ever come home. Even imagining it hurts.
For so many Indigenous mothers and families, that pain was real. Their children were taken, and the effects of those separations continue across generations.
For me, breaking cycles means raising my child with love, safety, and pride in who he is and where he comes from. It means making room for healing while refusing to let the truth be forgotten.
Today, I honour the children who never came home, the Survivors, and the families and communities who continue to carry this grief. I also honour the strength, culture, and love that endure.
Every child matters. Our children deserve to grow up safe, loved, and connected to who they are. 🧡
