About This Speaker: Angela Sterritt

Angela Sterritt is an award-winning investigative journalist, TV, radio, and podcast host, and national bestselling author. She comes from the Wilp Wiik’aax (we-GAK) of the Gitanmaax (GIT-in-max) community within the Gitxsan (GICK-san) Nation on her father’s side, and from Bell Island, Newfoundland on her mother’s side.

Sterritt worked as a journalist at CBC, Canada’s national broadcaster, for over a decade. She hosted the award-winning CBC original podcast Land Back. Her book Unbroken—part memoir and part investigation into the murders and disappearances of Indigenous women and girls—became a national bestseller in May 2023.

Unbroken earned nominations for the Governor General’s Literary Awards and the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction. Both are among Canada’s most prestigious literary honors.

In 2024, Angela Sterritt announced her second book, BREAKABLE. It will explore how racism and colonialism fuel harmful male behaviors—and how Indigenous men and communities are breaking cycles of toxic masculinity. Greystone Books will publish BREAKABLE in spring 2026.

In 2021, Sterritt won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Reporter of the Year. Her reporting focused on an Indigenous man and his 12-year-old granddaughter, who were arrested while trying to open a bank account at BMO. The same story earned her a national Radio Television Digital News Association award. In 2020, Vancouver Magazine included her in its Power 50 list of the city’s most influential people.

As a motivational speaker, Angela Sterritt shares powerful stories about overcoming adversity, breaking stereotypes, and fostering relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Her TED Talk on smashing Indigenous stereotypes continues to resonate widely.
