Remembering Our Founder
Leslie Lounsbury, Métis, founded SAY (Spirit of Aboriginal Youth) Magazine in 2002. She started SAY Magazine, because as an educator, she was disappointed with the amount of negative attention that Indigenous Peoples received in the media and in the education system.
With a mission to focus on positive stories, Lounsbury set out to find First Nation, Métis and Inuit success stories and positive role models to instill hope and empower, while educating a broader audience. SAY Magazine became the platform to share these stories, evolving for almost two decades.
Originally from Wabowden, Manitoba, Lounsbury spent much of her life working to develop meaningful partnerships and to enhance the lives of Indigenous Peoples across North America, spreading messages of hope and resilience with the promise of reaching the next generation of healers and leaders through SAY Magazine.
Leslie Lounsbury passed into the spirit world on May 27, 2018. She will always be remembered as a pioneer for the work she has done in her life as a teacher and as a publisher. She gave a voice to so many and celebrated the ‘good news’ stories of Indigenous Peoples that otherwise may have never been heard.
The legacy of SAY Magazine lives on in her memory.
February 20, 1947 – May 27, 2018
