Milestones Public Relations

Do not miss this event! Whether you're in PR, a brand or an influencer, this panel discussion has something for everyone - Wed May 26 at 6pm (link in bio to register).

Influencers have become an integral part of relaying or enhancing client key messages for everything from brand launches to reputation management. Should you use many micro-influencers vs. a few macro-influencers? Should you be whitelisting (boosting) content? What are reasonable influencer rates and how do you contextualize the vast range of fees? Will impact how content creators, brands and PR practitioners do business?

We’ll have answers to these questions and so much more from our panel of experts.

Client Profile: Canadian Indigenous born Billy Alexander is the Executive Chef and Culinary Advisor for Caldwell First Nation located in Leamington southern Ontario. As a world renowned Cordon Bleu trained chef, social advocate and Indigenous advisor, his illustrious accomplishments and positions include: Founding Chair of Indigenous Culinary of Associated Nations; Culinary Development for WestJest; recipient of Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40; Executive Chef at Calgary’s Grey Eagle Resort and Casino; National Culinary Strategist for Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada; and mentor to countless youth.

Originally from Akwesasne Nation, and raised by his Mohawk mother and Indigenous communities, he grew up with food being synonymous with community and he learned to cook with ingredients he foraged and hunted. He views the land as the “original grocery store” and created daily menus cooking for his family based on whatever edible treasures the land provided seasonally. He formed some of his fondest memories, gathered around food with family and community.

His global travels made him well-versed in diverse foods, cultures, histories and social dynamics. In New Zealand, he was inspired by how integral their Indigenous culture was woven into the broader culture and community. When he returned to Canada, armed with finely honed culinary skills and an enlightened outlook, he had an epiphany to draw upon his roots. This evolved into his mature culinary repertoire where he masterfully combines his formal culinary training with a heart-felt homage to the recipes and techniques of his mother, grandmother and childhood community matriarchs.

Through food, social advocacy and lived example, Billy practices a look-forward philosophy. “History is already done and can’t be reversed – but we do have the power and responsibility to carve out a new history.” He encourages everyone to have difficult conversations, broaden one’s inner circles to include those who don’t mirror themselves, and above all, to eat well and together.

As we get deeper into mode to - our food options remain abundant thanks to those business owners, suppliers, staff and delivery drivers who don’t have the option to work from home. 🙏🏻💕
