Ziggy Man
<p>In this episode of Q’s Corner, we sit down with Ziggy Haile, a community advocate whose work has made a meaningful impact on people experiencing homelessness in Ottawa, particularly within the urban Inuit community.</p><p>Originally from Ethiopia, Ziggy grew up with a strong belief in the power of community, inspired by his father's commitment to volunteering and helping others. Those early lessons in compassion and mutual support would go on to shape his life's work. After a serious leg injury at the age of 17, Ziggy's perspective on struggle, resilience, and service deepened, leading him to dedicate himself to supporting those facing some of life's greatest challenges.</p><p>Working in downtown Ottawa, Ziggy witnessed firsthand the realities of homelessness and the barriers many people face. Motivated by what he saw, he became a community activist focused on building connections, providing support, and creating a sense of belonging for those who often feel forgotten. His efforts have earned him recognition, including the MAX Keeping Humanitarian Award, but as he explains in this conversation, the greatest reward has been building a community that supports one another through difficult times.</p><p>Recorded alongside Amautiit Nunavut Inuit Women's Association, this episode follows a day spent walking through downtown Ottawa with Ziggy, listening to stories from people with lived experience and learning more about the challenges facing urban Inuit experiencing homelessness. The conversation is honest, emotional, and deeply human, offering an important look at compassion, community, and the power of showing up for others.</p><p>You can also follow Ziggy's work on Instagram at <strong>@</strong>protecttherise and on TikTok at <strong>@</strong>protecttherise613, where he shares stories, advocacy efforts, and community outreach from the front lines of his work.</p><p>Tune in for a powerful conversation about service, resilience, and the importance of caring for one another.</p>
