015 | The People of Reset Series: YUCCA

Send us a text

Yucca talks about life growing up in Toronto's Little Jamaica, her soul-connection to nature and her Nahuat roots, and how her insatiable curiosity was born. She shares ideas for decolonizing finance and the ways each of us can benefit from adopting and integrating an Indigenous worldview into our daily lives. 

GUEST BIO: Yucca, a vibrant soul, who proudly identifies as a Mestiza woman having Pipil, Lenca, and Spanish ancestry stemming from Cuzcatlan, presently known as El Salvador. Yucca’s veins carry the spirit of her resilient Nahuat ancestor’s wisdom, love, and knowledge. She believes true well-being extends beyond the physical—embracing mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. 

Whether it’s meditation, yoga, or connecting in or with nature, she finds joy in fostering connections with self and others within the community. Her diverse identities and experiences shape and inform her worldviews, and she holds a strong belief that the work we do out lives us, that our contributions in life will serve those before us and those after us. Yucca has found and embraced her art—the art of painting financial pictures—and has the honour of playing the role of Treasurer with Reset. 

Yucca's quest for growth and knowledge is fuelled by her curiosity. She has the courage to ask questions and lots of them! 

She is super excited to embark on this next chapter with Reset.

The INSIDE STORIES PEOPLE in PLACES PODCAST examines specifically our relationship with Place and its influence on our ways of existing, our beliefs about ourselves and others, and our sense of belonging…or not.
