Welcome to The IInitiative Podcast :) I'm Ella your host and I am super excited to see where this will go! I hope that the conversations that take place inspire, encourage and empower listeners.

This podcast was inspired by lessons I participated in with the DWF Youth Ambassador Program. I am practicing my communication, cultural protocol and cultural safety in creating this podcast.
