Danielle creates spaces where learning is relational, healing is collective, and truth is honored. Grounded in trauma-informed care and an intersectional feminist framework, she centers Black and Indigenous ways of knowing in every workshop, conversation, and curriculum she designs. Her facilitation blends compassion with critical analysis—meeting people where they are while gently challenging systems that uphold inequity.

With over 20 years of experience across education, community care, and advocacy, Danielle currently serves as Engagement and Learning Coordinator at the Legacy of Hope Foundation, where she develops national programming on residential schools, intergenerational trauma, and Indigenous resilience.

A certified birth and postpartum doula, she supported more than 200 families in Ottawa between 2012 and 2020. Her training includes Psychological First Aid (Johns Hopkins), Black Peer Support Facilitation (Royal Ottawa Hospital & CWCLN), and traditional healing practices. She holds a BA from Queen’s University and a diploma in Applied Museum Studies from Algonquin College.

Danielle is also a mother of two teenagers—a role that continually deepens her understanding of intergenerational care, resilience, and joy.
