In April 2020, I became one of the founding directors of Future Ancestors Services, an Indigenous- and Black-owned, youth-led professional services social enterprise that advances climate justice and systemic barrier removal with lenses of anti-racism and ancestral accountability. While centring decolonized and Indigenized practices, we support our clients and community in addressing systemic issues that disadvantage certain groups of people; our connections to land and others; and the well-being of Earth. As an organization that defines our team members as future ancestors, we carry the burden that comes with that title: the responsibility of reimagining and remodelling our societies to welcome people of various identities and ways of being. Our services integrate the notions and values of accessibility, anti-ageism, and anti-racism in both English and French (while we also collectively increase our capacity in Michif-Cree).
