Pow Wow Pitch, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering Indigenous entrepreneurs, is proud to welcome Destiny Maluga as the newest member of our team. A proud Ojibwe from Waywayseecappo First Nation in Manitoba, Destiny joins Pow Wow Pitch as Communications Coordinator, bringing a thoughtful and creative approach to storytelling that will help strengthen and amplify the organization’s platform and impact.

This foundation shapes her approaches to advocacy and storytelling, ensuring Indigenous voices are centered with care and intention. Beyond her professional experience, Destiny brings a deep sense of creativity and compassion into everything she does, whether she is creating art and jewelry that reflect her First Nation and Ukrainian-Romanian roots, or opening her home to foster animals alongside her family and beloved dog.
