Come and listen to our Host, Joyce Benning, as she chats with today's guest, Kate Neligan, for our “End of Year, Beginning of Me” Podcast Series.
A powerfully themed mini-series helping women close the year with clarity and step into the next one with grounded self-love and vision.

Kimberlee Campbell, Ph.D., is a co-founder of Grey Raven Ranch, a Canadian federal non-profit dedicated to preserving the Ojibwe Horse and educating the public about this Anishinaabe heritage breed. At Grey Raven, she focuses on breeding for healthy future generations and providing training for the ranch’s horses.

A retired professor of Romance Languages, Dr. Campbell continues to teach at the Harvard Extension School. She also collaborates with Indigenous communities in Lakota country, creating classroom materials for Lakota language instruction and supporting teachers in developing their teaching repertories.

She is the author of five books and numerous articles on both medieval literature and Indigenous language pedagogy. Her teaching has been recognized with the Mensa Foundation’s Distinguished Teacher Award (2004) and Harvard’s Carmen S. Bonanno Excellence in Foreign Language Teaching Award (2014).

She lives on Seine River First Nation in northwestern Ontario with her partner and Grey Raven co-founder, Darcy Whitecrow.
