Author Stephanie Mikki Adams is an Inuk woman, a mother, a community leader, and a survivor who spent much of her life walking through silence, broken repeatedly by grief but each time managing to recover, reclaim the lost pieces of herself, and find her way back home with truths worth sharing. Affiliated with Inuuqatigiit Centre, the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition, AFOA Canada, ONWA, and numerous other Indigenous, municipal, and national partners, over the years, she has positioned herself well as a credible, community-rooted, culturally grounded voice in healing, leadership, and Inuit storytelling.

​

Adams currently lives in a strong Inuit household in Ottawa, Ontario, with her husband, her daughter, her grandson, and her father-in-law. When she is not writing, she enjoys travelling, cultural spaces, leadership learning, photography, spending time with family, and savouring those quiet moments that reconnect her to herself.
