Pinoys on Parliament 2022: Panels and Speakers

Kat Daaca (she/her/siya), SCMP is a negotiations educator, consultant and speaker specializing in decolonized negotiations strategies. In 2022 she launched Reclaim Your Wealth, a workshop for bipoc community to explore their beliefs around negotiation and learn the skills to use negotiation to inspire daily acts of liberation. The workshop has since expanded to include racially informed courses, training, and consulting services that use decolonized negotiation strategies to empower racialized folks to better self-advocate for themselves in the colonial spaces they occupy. In 2020, after working ten years in supply chain management and in the middle of a global pandemic, Kat quit her corporate job and started Kanekta, the first and only Filipina-Canadian owned supply chain management consulting company. She is presently the Vice-President of the Manitoba Filipino Business Council, as part of the council’s first-ever female-majority board of directors; as well as a Chairperson for Kultivation FAMD, a grassroots volunteer-driven group promoting the modern cultural scene in Manitoba’s Filipino community.
