🔥 Warrior Heart: A Call to Reclaim, Rise & Remember 🔥
Ngayi, I am Shantelle Thompson OAM-the Barkindji Warrior and Warrior Heart. I walk in the footsteps of my Ancestors, guided by my Dreaming, resilience, and cultural sovereignty.
For too long, the world has tried to define my journey as one of overcoming adversity, as if my power must be justified by my pain. But let me be clear-I refuse to prostitute my trauma to make my success palatable. My rise has never been about escaping Indigenous despair; it has always been about stepping into the truth of who I am.
The Warrior Heart is not born from trauma. It is the fire of our Ancestors, the strength in our bloodlines, the unshakable knowing of who we have always been. It is cultural sovereignty in action-a reclamation of voice, purpose, and power.
The world tried to shape my story as one of surviving pain, but I am here to tell a different truth. My journey is about standing in my sovereignty, leading with my heart, and activating human potential-not just for myself but for all who have been told they are too much, too different, too broken to lead.
We are done being silent. We are done shrinking.
🌿 This is why the Warrior Heart movement exists. 🌿
We exist to serve those who have been historically marginalized, silenced, or disconnected from their cultural and personal power. Through my book Warrior Heart: Suicide to World Champion (launching July 1, 2025), my two podcasts, and the Kiilalaana Foundation, I am building spaces where First Nations women, youth, and people from all walks of life can rise into their sovereignty-without having to justify their worth through suffering.
🔥 My 2025 Vision Includes:
✨ Completing and launching my book, Warrior Heart: Suicide to World Champion, as a testament to self-reclamation and purpose.
✨ Fighting for my Dreaming-pursuing my Black Belt World Title on the international stage.
✨ Expanding Kiilalaana Foundation, empowering First Nations women and youth.
✨ Growing the Warrior Heart Movement, activating human potential through storytelling, leadership, and cultural sovereignty.
✨ Hosting workshops, keynotes, and programs that weave resilience, identity, and self-mastery into leadership, sport, and personal transformation.
📢 If you believe in reclaiming power, rising from adversity, and standing in truth, this movement is for you.
