In taking our program virtual, we knew it was important to weave together a sense of connection even though we all reside on different lands. RavenSPEAK emerge's virtual experience invited creative thinking around how we ensure each learner feels connected, appreciated and encircled. It was then that the emerge box was born! The RavenSPEAK emerge box is FULL of tools and good medicine to support their learning journey over the coming months! These boxes were curated with in...tention while supporting and AMPLIFYING Indigenous Entrepreneurs and were sent out to each learner this week!

We opened module one by co-creating our circle- a circle where each of us is welcome, exactly as we are. Our RavenSPEAK emerge circle is choosing to share this moment in time, to show up, to be present, to be brave, to find story and to speak truth - we are just getting started. #ravenspeakemerge... . . . #IndigenousStorytelling #Learningjourney #cocreation See more
