Local Love for United Way
While my thoughts around land acknowledgements have changed over the years, there is good medicine here, created in collaboration with my dear sister-kwe Sara Roque who is now in the spirit-world. These works are a part of her incredible legacy. G’zaagiin Sara.
Digital artwork collab between Chief Lady Bird (Sara, bluffs, water and star sky: original for video 2019), and myself (beadwork florals 2023), for Sara's service.

TODAY'S PARENT

This was a special project for print and online. Nominated by the National Magazine Awards for, 'Best Editorial Package' (2019). 
Note that the online articles have different titles than what was published in print, and pieces were condensed for print. 


Client Testimonial: "I had the pleasure of working with Selena for seven months for a special multi-platform project for Today's Parent. As a guest editor of Indigenous content, Selena brought enormous energy, passion and creativity to the project. It was a special content package for print and online, delving into such topics as intergenerational trauma, residential schools, Indigenous Kinship practices, land acknowledgments. She worked closely with writers and artists, and helped liaise with Knowledge Keepers and Elders to ensure the accuracy of the material. Tireless and conscientious, she was instrumental in the success of this series." ~Kathryn Hayward.
