Today marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Murawin’s Co-Founder, Greg McKenzie.
“Greg was not just my business partner, he was my life partner. So let me first acknowledge my co-founder, my darling Greg, my rock. Let me acknowledge that he is the other half of Murawin and everything about Murawin is informed by both of our values.”
His ever-present legacy continues through his family, his business, and his friends.
It’s very sad, very sad that he’s not here to share this year. He’s not here physically, but he will always be with me spiritually.
As part of our business model, we incorporated yarning circles, which were about how to manage loss and grief, in a corporate context, where people were able to deal with their own loss because it wasn’t just my loss.
A true leader, advocate, ally, and kind visionary. Today we honour Greg and the formidable way he dedicated his life to creating impact.
My final piece is that Murawin is Greg and I. It is us coming together as Indigenous and non-Indigenous and it showcases the commitment, the dedication, and the love that we have for each other, but also for wanting to improve outcomes for others.”
Murawin thanks you all for your support over this challenging year and our thoughts are with Greg’s family and community during this challenging milestone.
