Audrey Gordon: History Making MLA

The Honourable Audrey Gordon has made history not once, but twice in Manitoba. In 2019, she was one of the trios of new MLAs who have become the first Black candidates elected to the Manitoba Legislature. And in 2021, she made history again becoming Manitoba's first Black Cabinet Minister. Minster Gordon shares her journey from being born in Jamaica to arriving in Winnipeg at the age of 5 and how she struggled with racism through school and now acts as a mentor to numerous youth in the community. And she loves motorcycles!
