Waosanęgo
Where Knowledge & Ancestral Wisdom Meet
Waosanęgo is my traditional name, meaning "Floating Name". It is a name dreamt by my Grandmother and is reflective of my nature.I have always carried a care-free attitude in life; able to go with the flow. I use these gifts to engage with different environments and create meaningful, safe spaces.
I am a Seneca Bear Clan woman from Six Nations of the Grand River. I carry a diverse background in education, sociology, business, and healing and wellness. This combination of skills and expertise assists me in creating opportunities for people to decolonize their minds. This includes work within organizations, staff and individuals. A strong advocate for allyship, I create an inclusive environment and incorporate Haudenosaunee values into my work. This foundation facilitates positive dialogue & education. I am also an author with two self-published books. A creative non-fiction book entitled "Beyond the Leaf’s Thickness" and a second book, a collection of poems entitled "Letting Yourself Be Free." The second can be purachased here: Amazon Link
