Kim Grzybowski

Kim is Cree on her late mother’s side and a member of Peguis First Nation, and Polish on her late father’s side. She has worked in social work for over 25 years and has been involved in social work education since 2015. Kim holds a deep commitment to social justice, education, and reforming adoption policies. She practices from an anti-oppressive lens that is decolonial, anti-racist, and grounded in equity.

Kim’s extended family was deeply affected by the residential school system in Canada, resulting in the permanent loss of connection with some relatives. She has often wondered whether some of them were adopted. This personal experience has been a driving force behind her work and advocacy.

Kim feels honoured and humbled to walk alongside incredible people who inspire her through their strength and shared vision for meaningful change.
