Saylesh Wesley is a two-spirit trans educator who is of Coast Salish and
Tsimshian descent. Currently, she works as the District Indigenous Education
Resource Enhancement Teacher for the Chilliwack School District, and also
continues to present at a wide variety of events as it relates to her two-spirit
and transgender teachings. Given that Savlesh is steeped in her own Coast
Salish culture, and that she has transitioned in 1995, she can provide not only
Indigenous knowledge to any participants, but will also share her lived
experience, and compassionate listening ears to any similar stories.
