In this powerful relaunch of the Relentless Indigenous Woman Podcast, Dr. Candace Linklater shares her transformative journey of completing her PhD, navigating grief, and finding profound love and resilience.
Her award-nominated dissertation, inspired by the quiet strength of moss, explores creating safe spaces for Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQ+ youth, reflecting her commitment to education as an act of rebellion and compassion.
With an announcement of the stellar lineup of Indigenous guests, including artists, activists, and leaders, the podcast challenges intolerance, expands empathy, and celebrates the sacred diversity of human experience.
Dr. Candace's raw, emotional storytelling invites listeners to grow, question rigid beliefs, and embrace love in all its expansive forms. This podcast is a courageous invitation to learn, unlearn, and honour the full spectrum of human dignity.
