Who We Are

ANASTACIA BRADTREET

Event Dancer

Anastacia is an Indigenous post-secondary student from the Mi’Gmaq community of Listuguj, Quebec. She is twenty years old, and currently in her third year at the University of New Brunswick, Bachelor of Nursing program.

Sports are a very important part of Anastacia’s life. She is on the UNB Reds Cheerleading team, and also enjoys weight lifting.

Anastacia is very proud of her Mi’Gmaq culture, and traditional dances at powwows over the summer months. She provides dancing instruction to younger youth. She feels that it is important to pass on the art of jingle and fancy shawl dance, to the next generation.

Anastacia’s future goal is to work at a health centre, in a First Nation’s community. She also hopes to be a role model for youth and inspire them to pursue their dreams.

ANDREW & KATE-LYNN HOLMES

Event Speakers

Andrew Holmes (a father of two and a bi-racial man) is at his office in Saint John, New Brunswick. After finishing his lunch, he scrolls through his social media only to discover a video circulating that confirmed the unthinkable… the horrifying effects of the George Floyd-related riots (which originated 2,800 KM to the West) started to spread into his, mostly peaceful, part of the world. Thats when it hit him “If (and when) my children are faced with racism and bullying, what will I tell them?” The answer… "Love Over It"

Husband and wife team, Andrew and Kate-Lynn Holmes, operate Love Over It with the mission of promoting inclusion, unity and positive human relationships. No matter the situation, Love always has been and always will be the answer. Their mission is to share that good news.

We are excited to welcome Andrew and Kate-Lynn to the WE Believe stage as together they empower our youth to BE the change.
