Thank you all so so much. All right, so this week, oh, this was a really, really inspiring and motivating episode for me.

I had the opportunity to sit down remotely of course with Danielle Boye.

Now she is only 21 years old.

She's an indigenous Ojibwe and queer robotics inventor. She's also an

advocate for youth and has been teaching kids throughout her, I mean it's funny to say throughout her entire career, she's so young herself, but teaching has been a passion of her since she's been very young.

She founded something when she was only 18 years old called the Steam Connection.

It's a charity that's run by minority youth and they actually offer technical education through robotics

to children across the world with a really specific emphasis on revitalizing indigenous

languages that are unfortunately being actively killed off through colonial acts.
