“As she pieces together her origins, she reckons with the complexities of family, love and cultural displacement. Both intimate and unflinching, Children Like Us is a powerful exploration of what it means to know where you come from—and what it costs when that knowledge is withheld." —Adrienne Brodeur, author of Wild Game

Hi, I’m Brittany.
I am a Métis family physician, writer, and lecturer, with Anishinaabe, Cree, and European settler lineage.
I have found who I am by looking into who I’ve come from. Exploring and sharing my story is how I heal myself over and over again.
I’m here to inspire you with my writing and speaking to take the time to get to know your own story so that you can find your own form of healing.
Our stories
holds our remedies.
Storytelling & inspiration for people looking for where they belong.
I know that your life hasn’t always been easy.
You’ve felt out of place. Lost and disconnected from the people you’re “supposed” to be closest to. You question yourself and wonder if and where you belong.
But even when you’ve looked outside yourself for people who have stories like yours, you’ve still felt alone.
I understand. I felt confused about my true identity for much of my life.
I figured out how to find my home in this big, complicated world...
by telling my story.
For most of my life, storytelling has contextualized my experiences. It’s allowed me to understand everything I’ve gone through and uncover the strength I’ve found along the way.
It’s allowed me to uncover the richness of my history and process some of the pain and grief that came with it.
It’s been my act of reclamation, my act of resistance.
If you feel broken, lost, or forgotten, exploring your story, and the stories of your ancestors, can help you feel whole again, too.
Tell Your Story. Heal Yourself.
