Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre, Leah Gazan explains how sharing her voice as an Indigenous woman fighting for Indigenous rights has become more challenging now that she’s been elected into Parliament. She explains that through her own op-eds and writings, she’s able to get the ‘hard truths out there.’

“Before you can reconcile anything, you need justice. Before you can have justice, you need to have truth,” says Leah Gazan.
