Kayla Spencer-Young, who will graduate next month from Dawson’s Pure and Applied Science program, and Rotshennón:ni Two-Axe (Class of 2023, Health Science) will be featured in a TV series called Warrior Up on APTN. The series follows inspiring and activist Indigenous youth aged 15 to 26 as they face challenges and make positive changes happen in their communities and beyond.

The series is airing now over the next 10 weeks or so. You can follow Warrior Up on social media for more info about the upcoming shows: https://www.facebook.com/WarriorUpTV
