I have found a love for sweet potatoe pies. When shopping at whole foods I saw a WHOLE HALF AN AISLE of different pumpkin purees. I only found a few lonely cans of sweet potato puree on the very bottom shelf on a random aisle, so I thought I'd make some apprication posts.

@AP_Climate An AP reporter asked to do an interview with me her about indigenous women. I lost her information. Would someone please DM to set up the interview?

“Water is Life” “Dams are not the Solve-All of Clean Energy Solutions” Inspired by Yurok and Karuk scholar/scientist @BrookMThompson and others from Colombia, DRC, Bolivia and California at a Rivers & Rights panel at #COP27. Thanks for the connection @ARKapuscinski !

My regalia is not a "costume". Saying so is offensive and reductive. I am not playing dress up. My cap and jewelry have their own spirit and a deep connection to my cultural history. It is a part of my identity.
