Welcome back as we wrap up 2019! Red November was more amazing than I could have ever imagined and it's because of all of you and the amazing womxn who agreed to join me. The response to the series has kickstarted forming a new podcast centered around MMIW2S. Check out the episode and don't forget to weigh in on the MMIW2S podcast in the works, our family name, and tell me what you'd like to hear in 2020!

Rachel Norris is a family member of Emily Washines who joined us last week and we both ask that you share this information wherever you can so that we can bring Rachel home. You can find a picture of Rachel on my Instagram. Thank you so much for listening. 

This is the final week of Red November and I think this is the perfect finish! The Red November series is over for the year, but I will continue talking about Native issues and topics outside of November. ** URGENT ** After this episode goes live, there will be a short episode of a press release for a missing sister who is a family of Emily Washines. Please keep an eye out for that!

I don't know how we got here so quickly, but this is the third episode of Red November. If you are a fan of true crime you might recognize both our featured MMIWG2S and guest. Emily was generous enough to bring all of her experience and knowledge to the podcast and I promise you'll want to hear everything she has to say! Remember that our limited edition Red November Together merchandise that will contribute to donations to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women will only be available for the next week and a half! Thank you for listening!

It's Wednesday and we've reached episode 2 of Red November! Technically this was recorded first, but who is counting? I am so, so grateful for Díana. Not only did she agree to contribute to this series, but she's been incredibly supportive behind the scenes with me as well. I feel very lucky to have connected with her and I'm sure she'll give you all that feeling in this episode. To be honest, even in covering my own Native background and talking to other people, I didn't think of the Indigenous people in South America. When Díana and I started talking, it hit me with a ton of bricks. Even though she is also on the journey of reconnecting, she said so many thought provoking things that I'm still mulling over. 

If you enjoy this episode or want to talk about it further, be sure to catch me on social media! Also, if you have received your Red November Together merchandise, please post a picture! Especially you, person who bought the adorable baby onesie! I have been absolutely staggered by your responses to the first episode and I hope that you continue to enjoy the series. I appreciate all of you more than you know!

Welcome to the first episode of Red November! Agnauraq is back to help me give a general overview of what the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit movement and how it affects all of us. There are a lot of facets and emotions involved in this topic, but we included statistics and other information if you're new to the movement. Red November has been a journey for all of us and we hope that you enjoy this episode and stick around for the other 3. You can find more information on Agnauraq and their work here: https://somekindofbrown.wordpress.com/contributors/

Keep an eye on my instagram because I will be dropping the special merch designs from Agnauraq herself! The design will available through the whole month and 80% of the proceeds will be donated at the end of the month to The Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women and Girls. I hope that you will support this cause with us!

Special thanks goes to Theresa Bear Fox for allowing us to use her song, "Sky World."

Hello and happy Wednesday! Chris and Cody from Believer Skeptic have joined us for the last episode of October and they closed us out with all the fun and laughter! I loved recording with them and exploring the intersectionality of being in the LGBTQIA+ community, the culture we were raised with, and how they affect the way we approach life. I hope you love this episode because honestly, it was a blast! I've linked Chris and Cody's social media so you can follow them too!Also I am in need of a new mic and this will probably be the last mic I buy. I have some upcoming projects and I want to improve the sound for all of you! With my current supporters, I've saved most of what I need, but I'm trying to get that last $50. If you could, take a look at our Patreon page or buy some metaphorical coffee if you'd like to donate! Every little bit helps and I'm just happy to have all of you in this colorful little family whether you are in a position to donate or listen!

This week Sade from Offscreen Babble is joining us to talk about all the nuances of Black culture, the place of African culture in the mix, and how much weight is put into how you decide to style your hair. Sade and I talked for so long and had such an amazing conversation that you really won't want to miss whether you're a part of the Black community or not!

There's more to a person than race, but a person's race and culture colors all area of their life. This dichotomy is why we still need to have these important conversations! This week, we have the amazing Melissa Sheldon who shares her Mixed Latinx experiences and how it affected her life. She has great energy, so this episode was so much fun to record! I'm determined to make sure this is not the last time we hear from Melissa, so give a listen and check her out!
