But here’s a peak of some of what I do.

I started this to help my friend during a huge life change. Things have gotten far worse and are in crisis mode.
@michaellaborn isn’t one to ask for help, but my friend is suffering and I can’t begin to explain the hell he’s in.
Let’s make this a memorable BHM for my friend.

My tribe just announced a language revitalization program with help from the Catawba tribe who also has developed a program.
My folks will be working to bring back one of the languages we would have spoken, which is a Cheraw, a Siouan language.
So much healing happening!

Everyone cannot protest. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be involved and effective.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

While wearing a ribbon skirt yesterday, I ran into a yt woman and her 2 teens who held the door for me.
Mom’s face was amazing. She gasped and then her teens stopped: “Oh my gawd! Your outfit is so beautiful!” They all three squealed and I couldn’t help but giggle.
I f*ing love being Native.

Another cozy read that gave me all the feel good vibes. This is a dad/daughter duo helping people relive memories through nostalgic dishes. They take tiny memories and recreate these dishes for an array of customers.
Lemme know if you’ve read this one!
