“I found myself thinking, am I really going to keep trying to swim against the current, or am I going to figure out how to do something that I’m actually good at and that I really enjoy?”

Hear from Juli Holloway (BJour '07) on her journey from TRU student to communications leader in BC and beyond.

TRU alum Juli Holloway (BJour '07) has dedicated her career to amplifying Indigenous voices.

After graduating from TRU, she earned a Master of Arts in Professional Communication, where her award-winning research explored how communications can advance Indigenous self-determination and nation-building.

From consulting and teaching to founding the Indigenous Communications Professional Association, she's helping create opportunities for current and future Indigenous communicators.
