Last week we had the honour of hosting Michael Kelly-Gabriel and Allie Keitlah, representatives from Kwantlen First Nation, at DIVERSEcity. ![]()

We shared a meal. Listened to their stories. Shared a bit of ours. Connected as people who care deeply for their communities. As Michael stated, “community comes first,” a value that DIVERSEcity shares. ![]()

It was a beautiful day of storytelling, sharing space and getting to know each other. We look forward to listening and continued learning through our ongoing relationship with Kwantlen First Nation and other Indigenous communities. ![]()

Michael shared the sentiment of “don’t carry our pain, carry our truth” and we remain dedicated to carrying forward the truth in our work.

Overcoming language barriers and adapting to a new style of sewing machines in Canada, the Diverse Tailors have been diligently crafting a collection of high-quality, vibrant tote bags, crossbody bags, grocery bags, lunch bags, aprons and more from upcycled street festival banners. ![]()

We want to thank everyone who attended the Diverse Tailors' Special Sales Event on August 28. Your overwhelming support truly touched our hearts and made the day unforgettable. ![]()

Thanks to your generosity, we’re already halfway to our goal of purchasing sewing machines for each tailor, empowering them to continue their self-employment journey. ![]()

“The check-ins with our clients, whether simple inquiries about well-being or prompts about self-care, are a tool for community-building. They take us back to that granular level when it comes to designing or delivering programs” she shares. “These small but consistent interactions build trust and are essential in my work.” ![]()
