It’s an unforgettably powerful experience, and who better to have on air with us today than this years Gathering Our Voices, Master of Ceremonies, Elijah Mac here to share his story of how he was inspired to make a difference for youth, and in turn became an inspiration to many. We chat about how he grew as an entrepreneur from newspaper delivery person and high school dropout, to a successful indigenous restaurant owner, and youth advocate.
