Storytelling is a powerful way to keep culture vibrant - and for students like Taea Rattlesnake, it’s also the chance to share one’s vision with the wider world. This Plains Cree student is studying musical theatre performance at St. Lawrence College in a hands-on, conservatory-style program; she’s supported by the Roberta L. Jamieson Bursary through our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries & Scholarships (BBF) program. She says: “This bursary was a major stepping stone in my educational journey, and it means that I'm able to move away from home and get the training I need without worrying about how I'll be able to afford it.” Taea has big plans for her post-graduation life, too: “My hope is to save up enough that after my schooling, I'll be able to move to a larger city nearby. Toronto has excellent opportunities for theatre, and the dream is to one day make it to New York City. I've known since I was very young that this is what I want and need to do with my life. Telling stories and connecting with audiences is such a fulfilling career…Every cent is another step closer to realizing my dreams and making some sort of impact through the stories I tell. It truly means so much. Thank you for your generosity and support.” Learn more about Taea’s story here. 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8WJTFK #BBF #Indigenous #Education #IndigenousExcellence #IndigenousStudents #Charity #CanadianCharity #NonProfit
