Ep. 19: Crown and Culture: Emma Morrison, Miss Word Canada
Emma Morrison is a powerhouse Indigenous woman who's breaking barriers as the first Indigenous Miss World Canada representative, preparing to compete in the Miss World finals in India on May 31st.
Her Beauty with a Purpose project, "Ribbons," focuses on empowering Indigenous youth, particularly young girls, through education, cultural pride, and mentorship. She'll be representing not just Canada, but First Nations women on a global stage, carrying the hopes and spirits of her Ancestors.
Throughout our conversation, we explored the depth of Indigenous resilience, the importance of celebrating personal achievements, and the need for settlers to engage with Indigenous culture authentically.
Emma's journey from a shy girl in a small town to an international pageant representative demonstrates that Indigenous women can excel in spaces not traditionally designed for them, all while maintaining their cultural integrity and commitment to community upliftment.
