The Comeback Podcast

Sit down with the new sisters this week as they get to converse with Dr. Kim Mckay- Mcnabb. She shares her knowledge and her wisdom that she has learnt throughout her life. May 5th, is National MMIW awareness day, a topic we feel should be at the forefront of the conversations. Dr. Mckay-Mcnabb has worked with families of MMIW and supports them through their healing journeys. She shares that transitional moment where she chose she wanted better for her life and focused on being the best version of her. 

Dr. Kim McKay-McNabb accepted her new role as Executive Director of White Raven

Join the sisters, as they sit down and hangout and discuss growth, healing, things their watching and taking leaps in life! As many viewers know, Lexie is leaving to chase her dreams and to challenge her current comfort zone. With her departure, we will be welcoming a new co-host! This will also be our last sister talks episode until Lexie emerges from the forest. In this episode, Alicia dives into her journey through therapy and talks about co-dependancy and growing through hardships.

——————————-

I grew up in the Homalco Reserve in Campbell River, Vancouver Island.  Since an early age, my parents kept me very busy attending soccer camps, swimming, tennis, basketball, squash and classical guitar lessons, among other activities.  I also attended cultural and language classes on the Reserve.  I successfully completed grade 8 of Classical Guitar at the Victoria & Toronto Conservatories and participated in multiple musical events in favor of charitable & non-profit organizations.

At 12 years old I started working, part time onThursday & Fridays after school and full days on Saturdays, as an apprentice at Campbell River’s local TV station, where I trained as a junior production assistant.  At age 15 I was hired as an assistant producer for CRTV and later on Shaw TV.

During the six years I worked for the Campbell River Television Network, I produced and anchored several documentaries and two series called “The Native Perspective” where I interviewed local Native individuals involved in arts, politics, science or sports. I also produced a French Program called “Les Etoiles Du Future”

At age seventeen, I graduated from the francophone program and moved to Nanaimo to pursue a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Digital Media, at VIU.

Between 2010 and  2008 I received the following scholarships and awards to pursue my filming career:

* July 2010 SABAR Strategic Alliance of Broadcasters

* 2009 Victoria Foundation

* 2009 Irving K Baker BC Scholarship Society

* 2009-2010 National Achievement Post-Secondary Education Award

* 2008 Winner, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Arts’ BC 150 Youth Video Contest: “What BC Means to Me”

Most recently, in 2020, I signed a contract by with Check TV, to produce a series of podcast interviews called “Our Native Land”

We are so excited to share our new episode with you!  Welcome to the crockpot episode, where two podcasts simmer together and become one!
