Destiny Hoostie

Destiny Hoostie is the co-founder of Bangin’ Bannock, a company that makes DIY bannock mixes. Destiny and her co-founder Kelsey Coutts call their product the “pancake mix of bannock” for their quick and simple recipes. Destiny is Assiniboine from the White Bear First Nation. Bannock is a core part of her childhood memories, having eaten it while growing up with her five siblings. She started her bannock-making business as a way of being home with her children and later partnered up with Kelsey to launch Bangin’ Bannock. The two women were partnered together by the BC Indigenous Youth 3C Challenge, an initiative for aspiring Indigenous entrepreneurs. Now, Bangin’ Bannock delivers dry bannock mixes with different recipes, and they package their products in sustainable, eco-friendly packaging. In 2021, Destiny represented Bangin’ Bannock at the British Columbia Pow Wow Pitch, where the business finished as a semi-finalist.
