In part two, Eva Dusome deepens the conversation by reflecting on their experiences as a Two-Spirit, non-binary Anishinaabe person navigating colonial systems, education, and justice. Eva shares how Indigenous teachings shape their own personal values, and approaches to leadership and mentorship, and how decolonization begins with reconnecting to land and self. Eva speaks candidly about being "funneled" into womanhood, finding power in “Indigequeer” identity, and guiding others toward transformative change. Whether in classrooms or government spaces, Eva’s work centers healing, courage, and community—reminding us that the ideas once seen as radical often become the blueprint for a more just future.
