Mandela Kuet’s childhood in Winnipeg’s North End was shaped by the sights and sounds of a community deeply intertwined with both Indigenous and newcomer cultures. It was a place where the sense of family, culture, and community provided a foundation for Mandela’s lifelong commitment to making a difference. Kuet now runs a non-profit organization that helps bridge gaps, build relationships and create spaces where young people, particularly Indigenous and newcomer youth, can thrive.
