Welcome to Crossing the Chasm. On today’s episode, I am joined by Charolette Gonzales, policy and advocacy director at the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. Charlotte identifies as a Navajo woman and as a Pueblo woman and has degrees in political science and critical justice studies. On this episode, she talks about violence against indigenous women, what contributes to that violence, what is being done about it and her own experiences that draw her to this work. Thank you so much for tuning-in and I hope you enjoy the conversation!
