TikTok star and All My Relations basketball player shares inspiring message ahead of All-Native – FNHA
Feb 07, 2024
Laura Lewis is a First Nations woman of many talents. She’s a member of the All My Relations women’s basketball team from Vancouver who can shoot three-pointers, dribble between her legs and score at the hoop. Off the court and online, she sings, tells “rez jokes” and shares inspiring and empowering messages to more than 30,000 people who follow her on TikTok.
The Indigenous student support worker says she never expected to become a social media star.
“I didn’t actually really know about TikTok until COVID. For me it was just a part of my healing journey, especially since we were all isolated. I could sing and bring comedy and bring laughter and that’s a piece of medicine. And so I wanted to do that in a way where it was healthy for not only myself, but also all those who are watching from young to old.”
