Grateful to live and work on the unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəjˀəm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil Waututh) Nations. The Roundhouse, its staff, and neighbourhood collectively have been an essential part of Simma’s family for years – especially raising four children in Yaletown. She is grateful to be in a position to now contribute to its betterment. Amongst other artistic pursuits, Simma is an inclusive educator, counsellor, and DEI advocate, specializing in creative, equitable approaches to learning and mental health. Her masters studies focussed on practical ways to integrate culturally sensitive, trauma informed pedagogy, with a specialization in Indigenous Peoples worldviews.
