In partnership with the Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC), we were pleased to welcome Mohawk Olympian, Mother, and Motivator, Waneek Horn-Miller for International Development Week.

“Anger is important. Anger is like a fire. But if you only act from a source of anger, that anger will cannibalize your spirit. It will take over your mind. [My mother] would say, ‘anger will get you up and moving, but you always have to move back to love’.” - Waneek Horn-Miller

Women Planting Seeds of Change: Stories of Transformation with Jane and Jane This year’s Antigonish International Women’s Week theme was Seeds of Transformation: Feminist Organizing for Change and Growth, in consideration of the change – past, present, and future – for women’s rights, gender justice and ending patriarchy, and the women who do this work. Recognizing the ordinary and extraordinary women who work for and seek change in communities and nations, this webinar brought together two phenomenal Indigenous women, both named Jane, from different continents, who are committed to change for women, their families, and communities.
