In this episode, Shanna and Yotakahron do their first interview together, with the incredible Jennifer Sylvester. Jennifer is an Anishnaabe Kwe who is entering her second year as a Ph.D. student in Social Justice Education at the University of Toronto – Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). She is an advocate for Indigenous social issues, but more importantly, equity, protection and inclusion of Indigenous women. She is also a single parent to a 14-year-old young man.
In between the healing shared laughter of Indigenous women, they exchange post-secondary stories (one that includes Bob Rae) and discuss how we can better support mature students.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
