FROM FOUNDER and CEO RITA PETERSON,
As an esteemed member of the Indigenous Community, I carry a profound connection to my ancestral heritage, fueling my unwavering commitment to empower and uplift Indigenous People. It is my fervent mission to pave the way for inclusivity by creating unprecedented opportunities for Indigenous talent within the National Security Industry, ultimately dismantling barriers and collectively building a future that shines brightly for all.” This passion has driven Rita into establishing the philanthropic non-profit organization called Indigenous Minds. “Due to my personal background and observations, recognizing the need to support underserved communities, this organization is based on our beliefs and the importance of STEAMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math, and Spirituality).”
