Black History Month somehow sneaked up on me this year! I want to talk to you about some of my feelings towards Black History Month and my ideas about how to observe all the US heritage months in a way that everyone feels seen while I work on my MMIWG2S series. Please let me know your thoughts and how you'd like to see me approach these months in the future!

I am so excited for you to hear this episode! Sofia and Sydney from Brown and Bonita are such sweethearts and so incredibly smart! They are joining us in this episode because I noticed myself saying that everything is so much better for Gen Z than my Millennial life growing up. But is that really the case? Maybe things have changed, but maybe not so quickly. I hope you enjoy and I'd love to hear where you fall on this topic!

Are you a little shocked by the fact I'm talking about Goop or The Goop Lab Show on Netflix? It actually came at the perfect time when my brain was already coming to grips with some aspects of reconnecting with my Native culture. This is probably the topic I'm most shy about, which might not make sense with the episode posted two weeks ago, but give this episode a listen and you might understand why. If you have been experiencing something similar, please let me know on any of my social media! It can't just be me out here!

Today, Sharmane from Militantly Mixed is joining us to talk about what's happening with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. This situation is nuanced and we both have a lot of feelings. In the end, I'm left feeling disappointed in society. Am I the only one?

So today I am going to tell you something new. It's heavy, but it's also National Stalker Awareness Month and I think it's important to share my story as well. These issues need to be talked about more and thank you to Hope from Radiant Mix Podcast and the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Indigenous Women for drawing my attention to this awareness month! Just in case, I do want to mention that I do refer to rape and abuse in passing, without any details, so please skip this episode if this makes you uncomfortable. That being said, thank you for listening to my story and I hope that at least some part resonates with you.

 There have been so many of you who listened to and shared the press release about Emily's relative during Red November. We have an update now and our sister has unfortunately walked on. To respect Yakama traditions of not saying the name or sharing the picture of someone who has passed for a year, I will be doing the same. 

Disha from the podcast, But What Will People Say, joins us to talk about her podcast and her cultural journey of finding a place between two worlds and marrying someone her parents hadn't expected. Honestly, I had so much fun talking to her and her podcast is really engaging, so I encourage you to go check her out!

This is part 2 of the conversation with Brandi and Danni, the great minds behind the Art Sistory podcast. In this half, we really dive deep into how they identify and I learned a new way of looking at identity. Identity is something that can be clear and defined,  fluid and every changing, or a little of both and I hope that this episode inspires you! This is the last episode of 2019 and I hope that you close out the year with people who love you. I'll see you in 2020!
