Meet Our Speakers: Swil Kanim & Corey Warren

Here at TEDxWWU, we are excited and pleased to announce the innovative speakers for the first TEDx event at Western. This week, we would like to introduce two of our speakers, Swil Kanim and Corey Warren. 

Swil Kanim, an enrolled member of the Lummi Nation, is the president of HonorWorks, a 501c3 nonprofit corporation.  He is a classically trained violinist, native storyteller and actor.  He and his team carry the message of hope and healing to schools and organizations where young people learn to honor themselves by staying in school, staying alive, staying sober, and creating healthy communities.

Swil Kanim’s compositions incorporate classical influences as well as musical interpretations of his journey from depression and despair to spiritual and emotional freedom. The stories and music emerging from his experiences have been transforming people’s lives for decades.

Corey Warren is an artist, a dreamer, and an entrepreneur. After attending four different universities across the north west, he settled in Bellingham and graduated from Western Washington University's Class of 2008.

The abundance of creativity, good people, and quality of life was too good to leave after college, so immediately upon graduating, Corey and his best friend Dylan Warnberg began a lofty project that would become INNATE; a symbol for their commitment to encouraging true, human expression and its infinite possibility.
