Tŝ'iqi Nadint'i - Rebecca Solomon

The Matriarchs Podcast is a storytelling space created to uplift Indigenous women and honor the matriarchs who shape our families, communities, and futures. Through heartfelt conversations, we sit with women in many different roles—mothers, caregivers, artists, leaders, knowledge-keepers, advocates, and professionals—to share their stories, experiences, and wisdom.
This podcast is rooted in community, connection, and respect. It is about creating a safe space where women feel seen, valued, and heard, while strengthening intergenerational bonds and celebrating the many forms of Indigenous womanhood and leadership. Above all, the Matriarchs Podcast exists to uplift women’s voices, preserve their stories, and inspire others through the power of shared lived experience. 

In this episode, we sit down with Rebecca Solomon, a Tŝilhqot’in rapper from Xeni Gwet’in, whose music blends hip hop, reggaeton, pop, and Indigenous influence. She talks about the powerful matriarchs in her life, the lessons they passed down, and how those teachings shape both her voice and her path. Rebecca shares why speaking up and creating safe spaces matters, especially for youth, and how she hopes to inspire others to do the same. Growing up surrounded by music, she walks us through parts of her journey as an artist, how her sound has evolved. We also get into her upcoming album and what it was like filming her latest music video. This conversation is about culture, confidence, expression, and using your voice in a good way.
