Valerie views teaching, from early learning to post-secondary, as a political act and does so with a view to provoke radical social transformation towards a post-colonial world.

Holding a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition, Valerie is also passionate about transforming our food systems for human and planetary health and to end oppression.
