Two First Nations entrepreneurs move on to finals of pitch competition

Two First Nations entrepreneurs move on to finals of pitch competition

Two First Nations entrepreneurs on the Prairies are one step closer to a $25,000 grand prize, after being selected to the finals of Powwow Pitch, a national competition for Indigenous entrepreneurs. 

"I'm just honoured and excited to be able to share more about what we do at Kejic Productions and hopefully receive a little bit more support to . . . expand our business and provide more of those opportunities to Indigenous young people," said Erica Daniels.

Daniels, from Peguis First Nation, is the executive producer at Kejic Productions, which provides video production, graphic design and web development services in Winnipeg.

She got her start in the world of video production as a youth by taking part in a multimedia program offered at Broadway Neighborhood Centre in 2007. In 2017, she started Kejic Productions when she saw a demand for video productions, and a need for Indigenous people to be in charge of telling Indigenous stories.

"It's really an exciting time," said Daniels. 

"We have to really claim our space . . . within the film industry, within the production industry and make sure that our voices are being heard and that our stories are being told from an Indigenous perspective because we are really the ones who have lived this experience."

Last year Daniels made it to the finals of the Powwow Pitch competition, which is a partnership between RBC, Shopify and Facebook, but didn't win the grand prize.
