TaLedi Enterprise
Our social justice and enterprise development division - managed by Terresa Augustine and Luc Bédard. Social justice initiatives, the Maddie & Wynn series, and community development for Indigenous entrepreneurs, organizations, and communities since 2003.
Change, uncertainty, and possibility exist no matter where we are.
TaLedi Enterprise creates and commissions podcasts, reels, films, and stage productions through Social (in)Justice Productions; mentors Indigenous entrepreneurs, organizations, and agencies through Catalyste+ (formerly CESO); establishes community libraries in West and South Africa; and delivers board, governance, and mental-health leadership to Indigenous associations and social-service organizations across BC.
Our Work
Three bodies of work.
One purpose.
Social Justice Initiatives
Bearing witness, building narrative.
Social (in)Justice Productions bear witness - through print, podcasts, reels, films, and stage - to lived experiences excluded from institutional reporting and mainstream media, alongside on-the-ground initiatives: portable community libraries in West and South Africa, girls' education in Ghana, and mental-health first aid in BC communities.
Awareness reels, short films, staged productions, and community initiatives - 2003 to ongoing.
Maddie & Wynn
The Adventures of Maddie Leon.
Adventure stories for middle-grade readers (ages 9–12) and their champions - parents, educators, and librarians - exploring cultural awareness, career exploration, grief and loss, and identity. Learning through adventure and reflection that embracing change and uncertainty is the way to follow one's own compass.
Classroom presentations, resources, and Maddie-and-Wynn merchandise - by conversation.
Community Development
Building capacity where it lasts.
Advisory, governance, and mentorship for Indigenous entrepreneurs, non-profits, and social-service organizations - mentoring through Catalyste+ (formerly CESO), operational business planning, and board and governance leadership across the arts, social services, and mental-health communities.
Mentoring through Catalyste+ since 2009 - turning experience into durable local capacity.
How we work
Bear witness
We listen first and document the lived experiences that institutional reporting leaves out.
Mentor and plan
We pair entrepreneurs and organizations with hands-on mentors and a working business plan.
Build durable capacity
We hand off governance, tools, and local skills that keep the work going after we step back.
