ANGELA STERRITT BIOGRAPHY
Angela Sterritt is a respected investigative journalist, acclaimed author, and sought-after speaker whose work has shaped critical conversations about truth, representation, and resilience in Canada. She is Gitxsan from the Wilp Wiik’aax of the Gitanmaax community on her father’s side and has roots in Bell Island, Newfoundland, on her maternal side, giving her a unique perspective shaped by diverse cultural and geographical ties. Her background informs both her storytelling and her advocacy, positioning her as an influential voice in contemporary media and literature.
Angela Sterritt built her career with Canada’s national broadcaster, CBC, where she worked for more than a decade as a reporter, host, and producer across television, radio, and digital platforms. During this time, she covered some of the country’s most pressing and challenging stories, often highlighting issues of systemic inequity and giving a platform to voices that are too often marginalized. She also created and hosted the award-winning CBC podcast Land Back, which tackled the intersections of land, culture, and justice for Indigenous communities.
In 2023, Angela Sterritt released her first book, Unbroken, which combined memoir with investigative reporting into the murders and disappearances of Indigenous women and girls in Canada. The book quickly became an instant national bestseller, capturing the attention of readers across the country for both its personal honesty and its journalistic rigor. Unbroken was nominated for the Governor General’s Literary Award, one of Canada’s most prestigious literary honours, as well as the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction, the largest nonfiction prize in the country. These accolades underscored Sterritt’s ability to merge lived experience with groundbreaking research, producing work that resonates on both emotional and national levels.
Following the success of her first book, Angela Sterritt announced in 2024 her second major project, Breakable. This forthcoming book, to be published by Greystone Books in the spring of 2026, will investigate how racism and colonialism shape destructive behaviours in men, while also exploring how Indigenous men and communities are dismantling cycles of unhealthy masculinity. With this project, Sterritt continues her commitment to addressing deep-rooted social issues while amplifying stories of change, resilience, and healing.
Angela Sterritt’s journalism has been recognized with some of the country’s highest honours. In 2021, she received a Canadian Screen Award for Best Reporter of the Year for her coverage of the wrongful arrest of an Indigenous man and his 12-year-old granddaughter at a Vancouver bank. This powerful story highlighted the ongoing issues of systemic discrimination and earned her additional recognition from the Radio Television Digital News Association with a national award for excellence in reporting. The following year, she was named to Vancouver Magazine’s Power 50 list of the city’s most influential people, further solidifying her status as a leading journalist and public voice.
As a motivational speaker, Angela Sterritt shares her insights and lived experiences to inspire audiences to think critically about reconciliation, stereotypes, and equity. Her TED Talk on dismantling stereotypes about Indigenous people has reached broad audiences and continues to be used as an educational tool for communities, schools, and organizations across the country. Whether addressing corporate leaders, academic institutions, or grassroots communities, she brings a compelling mix of storytelling, research, and personal perspective that fosters meaningful dialogue and drives understanding.
Throughout her career, Angela Sterritt has consistently demonstrated her ability to bridge Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities by telling stories that challenge assumptions and spark conversation. Her work, whether on screen, on the page, or on stage, embodies a dedication to uncovering truth and promoting systemic change. She continues to be a guiding voice for audiences seeking not only to understand the complexities of Canada’s past and present but also to imagine a future rooted in respect, equality, and reconciliation.
