Restrictive and dangerous legislations are being passed across the nation. An attack on our civil liberties as equal citizens in this country!

I stand with you. We are all equal, love is love and be who you all are and stand in your own integrity!!

As the month and Indigenous Heritage Celebrations are coming to an end I want to share some personal history and resources to help educate and celebrate Native Owned businesses-
Which by the way you can do all year round.

The first picture is of my grandmother, who I am named after. She was very involved in the Indian pageants of Oklahoma. She was the first honorary lifetime Indian princess of the Chickasaw nation and I am proud to carry her name. She was an avid dancer and tried her luck in Hollywood.

If you want to give you are still doing some gifts hopping please consider for your foodie friends and home cook. This will also make a great day trip if you are in the Bay Area or Northern Cali.

For some unique gifts check out for some inspired natives arts. All designs are designed by natives and they are native owned and operated.

If you want to learn more about the land as a whole and how public land is managed and cared for check it land trust and to support their efforts in getting land back in female Indigenous hands.

Playing a little catch up here, after dabbling for a few years in some ILEA networking I finally decided to join as a member in 2022, after participating in the designer showcase. I served on the Education & Planning committee for the past year and am now the VP of said committee.
It is an honor to be recognized for my efforts and to serve as your VP for the upcoming 2023/24. If you have been to the Gala this week, which I was honored to co-chair, there will be more like this to come... Don't miss any ILEA NCC events this year...

So, I did a thing this weekend! I sent my first born of to college...

COVID made things a lil stressful to start the journey the day of.
His test results didn't come in on time, to be able to check-in & be allowed on campus.

We had to pick up a rapid anti- body tes...

So much for public testing sites and getting your results in 24-48 hours-NOT!!

Anyways, this is such an exciting period in a families life. For the child to be able to leave the house and start a new chapter in life and gain some independence.

For the parent, a sense of pride & accomplishment and bitter sweet, because who have to let your baby go.🦅🪶🐌

We had to wait a year to be able to do this, because you know 2020 sucked!!

Well, my son didn't quite let me have my moment. I got kicked out , 😆 😢😭

This made me think back to elementary school, 2nd day. My boy literally stood in front of me & told me to stop. He didn't need me walk him to his classroom. He's got it!!

I kinda saw the future flash in front me thay day& here ww are. My son kicked me out and is ready to explore the world.

Good luck son, I love you. I know you can handle whatever comes your way.
You are already set, despite all the obstacles you had endure and powered through.
I know if you make up your mind to do something- you will get it done.

Xoxo
