RISE Awards are sold out, but @portia_ella is host

We are honoured to have Cori Derickson give a Land

We are honoured to have Cori Derickson give a Land Blessing and perform the Okanagan Song for us to open the RISE Awards next week.⁠
⁠
Cori Derickson - Master’s of Fine Arts (Interdisciplinary), Bachelors of⁠
Fine Arts, Business Admin Diploma, artist and holistic practitioner⁠
recently graduated with a master’s graduate degree from University of British Columbia-Okanagan (UBCO) Nov. 2018 lives in Syilx Territory is of Okanagan/Colville/Arrow Lakes -(Plateau), Nez Perce, Hawaiian and Irish descent is a proud mother and grandmother with one great grand nephew.⁠
⁠
Cori is a multi-interdisciplinary artist performance major with⁠
international experience. Cori traveled to Peru, France and the Mid⁠
West USA to share her artistic practice. She is one of the only few⁠
female Eagle Dancer’s in the world. Her artistic practice include dance, sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography, music, writing, animation and production of multi-media works.⁠
⁠
“I have a passion for performance art using the tradition of captikwl⁠
(ancient stories). “I come from a family of knowledge keepers and⁠
natural storytellers” Cori continues the work of her family through her academics and art including that of her Great Great Grandmother - Mourning Dove - Hemishmish (first Native American published author). Cori’s graduate work includes the research of the traditional⁠
performance concepts of theatre based upon the captikwl published by Mourning Dove in “Coyote Stories” (1933-University of Washington State).⁠
⁠
“In 2010 I lost my dear son Makwala to a bullriding accident. It was the worst thing imaginable to endure. I turned to the arts as a tool to heal my life. Through art and ceremony I connected to the spirit world to create beauty in artistic ways to share with the world. The practice is comparable to the spitzen (a sacred thread) which connects the physical world to the spiritual world. It is there that I feel comfort close to my Sunshine and the ancestors while continuing my walk here."

We're so excited to have Kailee McGuire providing entertainment for us at the RISE Awards next week!🎸✨⁠
⁠
Kailee @kaileemcguiremusic is a singer-songwriter from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. She’s been singing ever since she could talk, and by the age of 8, she bought her first guitar and began writing songs. Starting out in small coffee shops and open mic nights, Kailee began to build her passion for sharing music with others, and felt deeply inspired by the songs and stories of other artists. Throughout the years, Kailee has played at various fundraisers, private events and music venues including sold out shows at The Vibrant Vines Winery in Kelowna, and The Mackie Lake House in Coldstream. ⁠
⁠
Kailee’s artistry is inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Paul McCartney, Laura Marling, Norah Jones, and many more. Her style is a diverse mix of genres with a soulful folky twist. Songwriting has always confronted Kailee with her deepest emotions and she has the ability to convey those emotions not only with lyrics, but also with her guitar. She plays a captivating melody that will have you humming along, and telling a story that will take you straight to a time and place.⁠
⁠
Kailee recently graduated from the Audio Engineering and Sound Production program at Okanagan College, and has self produced her first EP titled, "Hindsight". The EP features three songs chronicling her time living in Ireland, and is now available on all streaming platforms ⁠
⁠
Kailee is currently recording new music to be released this summer.⁠

⁠
She has over 30 years of experience in radio, television, and video production with the last decade dedicated to keeping up with the latest in digital marketing trends.

Jessica Samuels believes everyone has a story to tell and has spent two decades engaging diverse audiences. A former broadcaster, Jessica draws upon her skills and experience to continue to shine a light on the issues that impact us all. ⁠
⁠
She is a believer in Doing Some Good and uses that personal motto to guide her through her personal and professional life. Jessica learned early in her career to be an advocate for herself when it came to achieving her goals, and today she supports those around her to do the same. ⁠
⁠
Jessica is the Associate Director, Community Engagement at CMHA Kelowna, where she brings awareness of the organization’s programs, services, and resources to the community in order to foster greater understanding and awareness around mental health.⁠
