Fiddler is the chief changemaker of SheNative Goods Inc., a lifestyle brand of handbags, accessories and apparel with a social mission to empower Indigenous women. Both women need to raise the funds to attend the summit. G20 YEA is a global network aimed at championing the importance of young entrepreneurs to the G20 member nations.
