the office of indigenous initiatives orillia campus is pleased to offer 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and community members an opportunity to hear canadian actor, writer, producer, director, and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 honorary degree recipient, jennifer podemski, share her perspectives on authentic storytelling and indigenous representation in film, media, and the arts! 
 
best known for her award-winning performances and groundbreaking work behind the camera, jennifer has become one of canada's most respected creative voices. her breakout role in dance me outside marked the beginning of a remarkable career -- not only as an actor, but as a producer and advocate shaping the future of indigenous representation in film and television. 
 
in 1999, she co-founded big soul productions, canada's first indigenous-owned film and television company, and later launched redcloud studios to open doors for indigenous creators across the country. more recently, through the shine network institute, she continues to empower indigenous women in media with mentorship, training, and advocacy. 
 
zoom webinar available to both orillia and thunder bay campuses. 
 
1:00 - 2:30 pm - guest lecture - student session (open to community)
