Macayla on Lək̓ʷəŋən Territory

Hi! My name is Macayla and I go by any pronouns. I am a settler of Cantonese ancestry currently residing on the Homelands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən Nation. I was born on W̱SÁNEĆ Homelands and raised by my immigrant family. My family comes from the tropical 台山, 中山, 澳門, and 香港, displaced by poverty and imperialism. As such, I am deeply indebted to the stewards of this land in ways that I cannot adequately put into words and strongly uphold Indigenous sovereignty. Everything I do is grounded with the belief in the necessity and power of individual, collective, and ancestral healing and liberation. Thank you for being here.

Pronunciation:

Lək̓ʷəŋən = le-kwung-en

W̱SÁNEĆ = wh-say-nech
