K’odi Taylor was a bright student who struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, facing challenges like frequent moves, racism, and bullying. Despite excelling in school, he had trouble with homework, social interactions and dealing with childhood trauma, which led to early substance use. He pursued law but found that his natural intellect couldn’t keep up without proper support, eventually leading to burnout and dropping out.

After hitting a low point, K’odi set off on a journey of self-discovery—traveling, developing a deep love for languages, and eventually moving to Vancouver to learn his own Indigenous languages. ADHD continued to make life difficult, especially as he launched a part-time business to create language resources for Indigenous kids. His struggles worsened after his father’s passing, pushing him into a mental health crisis.

Getting diagnosed with ADHD was a turning point. With a new understanding of how his brain worked, K’odi built systems to manage his challenges, boosting his confidence and resilience. He quit his job to fully dedicate himself to creating language resources and spreading ADHD awareness, hoping to help others unlock their potential and thrive.
