In 2014, while filming a movie, Jackie Chan discovered that a group of Mongolian locals knew every word to 'Rolling in the Deep' by heart... Even though they didn’t speak English.
This beautiful moment was never part of the script.
To Indigenous women across the world: thank you. 🤎
Thank you for protecting the waters.
Thank you for remembering the medicines.
Thank you for bringing young people onto the land.
Thank you for teaching your ancestral language.
Thank you for holding traditions, family, and community together.
Thank you for showing that leadership can be fierce, joyful, tender, and strong all at once.
You are inspiring leaders, thoughtful Elders, hard-working land guardians, patient teachers, skilled harvesters, clever scientists, strong mothers, caring aunties, and curious youth. And your leadership is shaping a better future for all of us at a planetary scale. So today, on this #internationalindigenouswomensday, join us in taking time to honour and thank Indigenous women everywhere.🌎 🤎
I don't know why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture was unveiled recently in South Dakota.
It's called 'Dignity' and was done by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation.
Thank you for liking my post!

I just received this wonderful review from Terry Sanders regarding "Forward, Together." Not only is it incredibly humbling, but there is also a dog in the picture, which makes it even better! Speaking to my heart!
What I appreciate from Terry is that he shares the importance of authenticity in what he reads.
In all honesty, a lot of the book is not about the things I did well, but also sharing where I messed up and how I tried to get better. It was important to share that because it is the truth, and I hope my hindsight can help someone else's foresight.
