Can we truly decolonise the institutional systems built to enforce colonial power, or are we just reshaping the same oppressive structures? At WIPCE, speakers confronted this question head-on. Their words ignited the disruptor in me by challenging not only systems but also the ways we show up within them.

WIPCE 2025 was more than a conference; it was a moment in time - a gathering of Indigenous Peoples from across the globe and a pivotal milestone in my own decolonisation journey. For the first time, it felt like all my worlds came together: culture, education, dance, ceremony, storytelling, prayer, healing, spirituality, decolonisation, and social justice.
