Aanii!
“Aanii” is a friendly greeting in Anishinaabemowin, the language of the Anishinaabe.
My name is Amanda, I’m Anishinaabe from Wiikwemkoong. I live and work on the ancestral lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. I honor these Nations’ unceded territories and respect their heritage. The connection to land and community guides my work and commitment to a shared future.
I created Virtual Spirit Strategy to empower organizations with innovative tools, amplify voices, spark creativity, and build vibrant connections.

We prioritize mental health by nurturing each other and those around us, building a supportive and inspiring environment where possibilities are endless.
