When Brittanny Janvier enrolled in the Master of Management program at 91黑料网 in 2022, she was the only Indigenous student in her class. Now, Janvier is 91黑料网鈥檚 Director of Indigenous Initiatives, and is creating space for Indigenous entrepreneurs on campus. A recent event focused on how Indigenous-led businesses can serve as a powerful vessel for cultural narrative.
