The Shine Network Institute (TSNI) strives to empower Indigenous women, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people to thrive.

With a focus on the screen-based media sector, they are committed to dismantling systemic and structural barriers that have kept Indigenous women, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people from thriving within the sector.

Through training, mentorship and advocacy TSNI strives to provide the most effective pathways to success that offer sustainable and lasting outcomes. Indigenous women, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people are the most under-represented voice in the Canadian screen-based media sector. They want to eradicate this reality by providing Indigenous women, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people with the tools, resources and training that lead to opportunity, advancement and radical transformation of the Canadian film and television landscape.
