It's been a transformative year for Mohawk singer-songwriter Shawnee Kish.

She became a mother, was nominated for two Juno Awards, released five singles and was named one of TikTok's 2024 Indigenous Visionary Voices.

Kish feels lucky to be in the position that she is in, but admits the music industry has not always been welcoming to her as an Indigenous, Two-Spirit person.
