Theresa "Corky" Larsen-Jonasson is a proud Cree/Danish Métis Elder with roots in Red Deer and Maskwacis First Nations. She lives her life according to the traditional Indigenous teachings that saved her life. These teachings flow from her parents, her 93-year-old Kokom, Christine Joseph of Cochrane, aunties, uncles, as well as from the Goodstrikers, Williams and John Crier families, all of whom she loves immensely. Corky serves as a member of the National Collective of the Walking With Our Sisters missing and murdered Indigenous women awareness movement and a proud member of Red Deer’s Red Feather Women. She is also a member of the Urban Aboriginal Voices Women’s Council and Red Deer Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Network. Jessika Von Innerebner started her career as an artist at 17 and is self-taught. Illustration is a big passion and she's always finding ways to up her game. Jess lives in sunny Kelowna, Canada with her talented man, Cale. In spare moments she can be found dancing, long-boarding, traveling to distant lands, chasing adventure and laughing with friends.
