We focus on what Canadians need to know,\u201d says Lisk. \u201cI focus on bridging the gaps between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. I\u2019m also drawn to sharing positive stories, because so many of the stories about Indigenous people are about trauma or stereotypes. I want to cover every facet of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since taking up her post in October, Lisk has been featured on TVO\u2019s television news program <em>The Agenda<\/em> and writes for the network\u2019s webpage. She is also frequently traveling, seeking out stories among the 127 First Nations within Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrowing up, you heard elders say that you need to find the thing you can contribute to the community as a whole. I think a lot about how and if my work is helping my community,\u201d she explains. \u201cHow can I make them proud?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with reporting for TVO, Lisk also serves as the TVO journalist in residence with the School of Journalism and Communication\u2019s Journalism program. She has already made a guest appearance in two classes to give students her perspective on journalism, storytelling and Indigenous communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has been really supportive and excited about this new position and about integrating more Indigenous perspectives into their classrooms,\u201d says Lisk. \u201cI think the students have responded well, are interested in asking questions, and can relate to me as a recent graduate myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/tvo-indigenous-hub\/?utm_source=HomepageBanner&amp;utm_campaign=December2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Carleton University\u2019s story about the new TVO Indigenous Hub.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Karen Kelly Shelby Lisk recently opened TVO\u2019s Indigenous hub at Carleton University.
