The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade invited me to do a fireside chat with Snotty Nose Rez Kids for their EDI Forum. Snotty Nose Rez Kids are an Indigenous hip hop duo who have won so many awards. Darren Metz and Quinton Nyce were so real and generous. Our conversation hit a lot of topics including Indigenous futures, matriarchs, what they mean about being a good ancestor and how they work together. They’re incredible artists and leaders.
They model being unapologetic and bold in a way that creates more space for all of us to take up space being more of ourselves.
Two of the things that they said stuck with me: First, “We’re not just making records, we’re making history”. Second, “It’s not about how far we’ve come, it’s about how far we can go.”
Snotty Nose Rez Kids are on tour across North America. Go and see them perform!
