Paula Sevestre has brought her experience, creativity, and commitment to Indigenous voices into the creation of Belonging Ground Press. I look forward to seeing the contribution the press will make as it establishes its place in the Canadian publishing landscape.

Indigenous entrepreneurship is about more than starting businesses; it is also about creating spaces where our ideas, perspectives, and stories can grow. Belonging Ground Press is an exciting example of that, and I look forward to seeing what Paula Sevestre builds from here.
