Heartberry Podcast
We are two (or too) wholesome kweok who enjoy visiting, and thought we would turn our random chats into a podcast. We are both Indigenous students, one in graduate school and the other in medical school. We have also both experienced a ton of institutional violence, and ignorance in our post-secondary journeys. We are here to chat about those experiences in hopes of creating relationships, opportunities for solidarity, and carving out digital space that takes seriously the perspectives of Indigenous students.
