    02/18/2021

    Episode 11 - Matthew Jefferson (Indigenous Activist / The Walk to Remember)

    I first met Matthew Jefferson in Montreal, back in 2019. His journey across Canada – a walking distance of 8275 km, started in response to his aunt’s disappearance in 2017, another indigenous woman taken along British Columbia’s infamous highway of tears. Since then, Matthew @forever_becoming has become a central figure in the fight for justice among missing and murdered indigenous women, and a speaker whose story I’m honoured to share on the podcast today.
