I am a residential school survivor and third generation attendee. I lived on the rez. After high school graduation, I wandered around, academically until 2 kids and a lifetime later--I finally graduated with a BA in English and an INCA Certificate in 2014. I was a computer resource facilitator/social media manager for a non-profit, then turned Nakota Times Editor for Cega Kin Nakota Oyate. Then I walked the plank on band office politics and was picked up lost at sea by pîkiswêwin and CFNU! Can you imagine-- Just over a year ago I learned the software and learned how to have a conversation! Now, I am mentoring other students’ journeys in broadcasting. Looking forward to the next step of this journey!
