Gensaw, a leader in environmental and cultural preservation, directs the Ancestral Guard, a nonprofit teaching traditional fishing and farming to Indigenous youth. His work, rooted in food sovereignty and community resilience, began with the Klamath Justice Coalition’s historic dam removal project. He is also featured in the documentary "Gather."

Grace became a primary caregiver for her grandparents at a young age, an experience that ignited her passion for elderly care. Raised by them, she intimately understands the challenges of the caregiving journey and the critical need for preparation and support.

Driven by her firsthand experience, Grace founded Agewhale, a startup dedicated to transforming elderly care through innovative solutions. She offers valuable guidance for navigating the often-overlooked yet inevitable aspects of end-of-life care, aiming to make it a meaningful experience.

Before Agewhale, Grace led the social enterprise Fair Employment Agency as General Manager, fighting forced labor for migrant domestic workers. This talk was presented at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
