TAYLOR MCPHERSON BIOGRAPHY

Taylor McPherson, a proud member of the Miawpukek First Nation in Newfoundland and Labrador, is a motivational figure, community advocate, and recent winner of “The Amazing Race Canada” Season 10. Known for her dedication to Indigenous youth empowerment, Taylor McPherson’s journey has been marked by a blend of resilience, athletic excellence, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference. Alongside her teammate and friend Katie Mulkay, she captured the hearts of Canadians as the second all-female team to secure the title, demonstrating her core values of teamwork, leadership, and purpose.

Taylor McPherson’s journey to victory began on the wrestling mats at the University of Alberta, where she was a member of the Pandas wrestling team. Wrestling with Katie not only built their friendship but also laid the foundation of trust and teamwork that would drive them through the intense challenges of “The Amazing Race”. The physical and mental demands of wrestling sharpened her endurance, focus, and ability to stay resilient under pressure—skills that proved invaluable during the race. Their experiences as athletes and teammates allowed them to tackle each task with a unique mix of strategy, strength, and mutual support.

A passionate advocate for Indigenous youth, Taylor McPherson has channeled her platform to uplift and inspire. Her commitment is seen in her initiative, the Spiritual Holistic Exercise Den (SHED), a program she co-developed with fellow university students to provide Indigenous youth with access to sports equipment and leadership training within their own communities. Through SHED, Taylor works to empower youth to embrace their cultural heritage and physical wellness, fostering opportunities for self-development, leadership, and employment. This self-sustaining project is a testament to her vision for creating lasting, meaningful change.

Taylor McPherson’s background in athletics, combined with her experiences on “The Amazing Race Canada”, has further honed her skills in public speaking and community engagement. She is recognized for her ability to connect with audiences, sharing stories of resilience, teamwork, and perseverance. Her expertise extends beyond her athletic prowess to include event organization and outreach, and Taylor McPherson has plans to further expand her initiatives, leveraging her platform to bring visibility to issues affecting Indigenous youth and communities.

The accolades Taylor has received since winning “The Amazing Race Canada” are not merely trophies but symbols of her hard work and passion for social change. Her victory is celebrated not just for the prize but for the doors it has opened, allowing her to advocate for causes close to her heart. This remarkable accomplishment has set a new stage for her to inspire others, particularly young Indigenous women, to pursue their dreams and stand strong in their cultural identity.

In her personal time, Taylor is always up for an adventure, whether it’s planning the next big race, exploring new cultural initiatives, or spending time outdoors. Her friendship with Katie Mulkay continues to be a source of motivation and inspiration as they jointly pursue initiatives to uplift their communities. Taylor’s journey—from athlete to national champion and now, advocate—speaks volumes about her strength of character and her dedication to inspiring others to achieve greatness.
