Instagram live with Nicole from Raven Reads!
June 27, 2022
Meet Nicole, an Indigenous woman entrepreneur who started her company, @raven_reads, with the goal of raising awareness about Indigenous peoples' histories and lived experiences. What began as a book club, has now scaled up into a thriving Canadian business that exports to over 20 countries and has over 3,000 subscribers for book boxes. All of this while reinvesting in community and supporting Indigenous authors and entrepreneurs.
Nicole was able to scale up with the help of TCS programs like TAP and CanExport. With the recent IPETCA announcement, we are working hand in hand with Indigenous communities to ensure that more Indigenous businesses benefit from international trade.
This National Indigenous History Month, let’s all take time to learn and read two of Nicole’s recommended books:
1. The Break, by Katherena Vermette
2. Birdie, by Tracey Lindberg
