June is National Indigenous History Month! We invite you to an evening of empowerment and celebration at Sharecuterie! 

The evening will feature a panel of three Indigenous women in Winnipeg’s business community.

In addition to hearing from our panel, expect refreshing fruity beverages and a variety of delicious artisanal meats, cheeses, fruit and other tasty Sharecuterie eats featuring local ingredients.

Joining our panel are:

Cassandra Carreiro, Owner of Sharecuterie [our venue host]

Founded in 2020 by Cassandra Carreiro, a psychiatric nurse turned food artist, Sharecuterie is a locally-sourced, artisanal charcuterie shop and cafe located in Winnipeg. Sharecuterie is proudly Indigenous and woman owned. Sharecuterie uses board items that are either locally sourced or purchased from other small local businesses in Winnipeg and other parts of  Manitoba. When you support Sharecuterie you are not just supporting one small local business, you are supporting multiple. 

“Being an Indigenous woman in business has been empowering and healing for me. It has given me the opportunity to connect with other Indigenous entrepreneurs and develop a sense of community and strength. It gives me hope that we as Indigenous people are not only still here, but we are thriving and succeeding despite all the barriers. Regarding being in the food and specifically “charcuterie” industry, I love taking up space where people wouldn’t normally expect to see Indigenous people doing so.” – Cassandra

When I’m on stage I feel like the laughter I bring is helping others to heal, and that means the world to me.” – Sherry

Born and raised in St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba—homeland of the Red River Métis Nation, Andréanne started in her parent’s basement, 18 years ago. With a deep appreciation for her Métis roots, Andréanne has curated a collection that embodies the spirit of Indigenous artistry, combining vibrant designs, sustainable practices, and a commitment to empowering Indigenous communities.

Through her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, Andréanne is making a lasting impact, bridging fashion and cultural empowerment in a remarkable way.

“Being an Indigenous woman in business, particularly as a Métis from the Red River Nation means embodying resilience, strength, and cultural pride while navigating the challenges and opportunities within the business world. It means honouring the rich heritage, history, and traditions of the Métis people, while also striving for economic empowerment, sustainable growth, and positive impact within one’s community. Being an Indigenous woman in business provides an opportunity to challenge stereotypes, promote inclusivity, and contribute to the advancement and representation of Indigenous voices in the entrepreneurial landscape.” – Andréanne
