Manage episode 365747187 series 3285213
In this episode, Shannon sits down with Sage Lacerte, Founder of Sage Initiative, a national Indigenous womxn's impact investing collective. Sage is a Carrier womxn from the Lake Babine Nation, and lives in Victoria, BC on unceded Coast Salish Territory of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ nations. They discuss why she chose to focus exclusively on investing in Indigenous-owned social purpose businesses, what ‘money is medicine’ means to Sage and for other Indigenous womxn, what she wishes more Indigenous womxn knew when it comes to money, how hard it is to change the system, and more.
Sage Initiative trains and empowers Indigenous womxn impact investors through a learning curriculum where participants can learn about Indigenous concepts of wealth and commerce through a trauma informed lens that addresses colonial relationships with money, as well as overlapping identities such as Indigeneity, gender, age, and sexuality. Sage Initiative aims to make capital available to Indigenous owned social purpose businesses, with the goal of forming a circular economy.
Sage is also an Indigenous engagement strategist who is well-versed in gender policy, investment literacy, trauma-informed learning, and public speaking. She is a National Youth Ambassador for the Moosehide Campaign and holds a degree in gender studies from the University of Victoria.
