Talaysay Campo

Born and raised within the Squamish Nation and Sechelt Nation, Talaysay Campo is a respected Indigenous entrepreneur and health and wellness advocate, specializing in business leadership, cultural revitalization, and economic reconciliation.

As co-owner of Talaysay Tours, she has helped build one of British Columbia's leading Indigenous cultural tourism businesses, creating transformative land-based experiences that advance cultural education, environmental stewardship, and reconciliation through Indigenous knowledge and ethnobotany. Under her leadership, the company continues to strengthen relationships between Indigenous communities, corporate partners, educational institutions, and the tourism sector.

Talaysay is also the founder of THEDA X NENA, a skincare line rooted in plant medicine from the North Shore Mountains, inspired by the teachings of her matriarchs and created in honour of her mother, Candace Theda Campo. The brand reflects generations of ancestral knowledge, healing, and connection to the land.

Her leadership has been recognized through BC tourism industry awards, including honouring her contributions to Indigenous tourism and being recognized as Tourism Woman of the Year. She has also shared her voice as a TED speaker through her presentation, "The Door of Opportunities," where she speaks to resilience, identity, and creating pathways for future generations.

Above all, Talaysay is most proud of being an auntie to Simaya and Cyrus Campo, grounding her work in family, legacy, and the responsibility of carrying culture forward for the next generation.
