About the Presenters:
Hello/Hadih!
Alissa Assu is a mother of two, she embodies patience and compassion, balancing her roles as a supportive partner for the National Indigenous Renal Transplant Research Project: BRIDGE and an entrepreneur of three thriving Indigenous companies: Bear Essential Oils, RavenSong Soap & Candle, and West Coast Wildflowers. Her dedication to both her family and her business ventures showcases her passion and commitment to Indigenous communities spirit and well-being.
As RavenSong Soap & Candle was founded by a Haida Elder, Cody and I are now undergoing a 2-year mentorship pathway to ownership, to continue the legacy of our stories and our culture. Honoring our Indigenous traditions and history has enabled us to weave a common thread to the present, and we are always looking for opportunities for further connection and sharing through our products and stories.
