Glimmers of light - Thanks for the Award AVCOC
Last week White Raven were recognized by our own community, well the AV Chamber of Commerce part of our community, as Entrepreneurs of the Year. Imagine that!? We are totally humbled and honored to be recognized in any capacity for the work that we do.
Dawn and I and all of the Raven’s in our flog care about the work we do very deeply, in our aim to bridge local First Nations communities and world views with that of business, local governments and the entire community. We aim to do this in whatever small way we can, hoping that it grows in increments. We are always looking for the little cracks that let the light in.
It is all very lofty, I know it. To think that we can make a difference in our community and that possibly our work could have some impact. It seems such a big job that often Dawn, myself, Mary, Terri and all the White Ravens out there have our heads down working busily, very busily, rarely looking up to review our accomplishments or toot our own horns for that matter!
And then, we get small glimmers that perhaps our voices are being heard and White Raven Consulting is getting a little bit of notice.
So thank you! Thank you for recognizing a voice of Aboriginal business, of youth owned business and of a business owned by women in our community. My only hope is to see more aboriginal faces, more youth, more women represented in spaces in our community like the Chamber of of Commerce, local government and beyond.
I love the diversity of the region and our community and love to see that represented in as many places, spaces as possible. Chuu!
