Yesterday we celebrated our work along with other BAAITS (Bay Area American Indian Two Spirit) Mini-grant recipients. It was great to be in community to celebrate and learn more about the work we are doing. I am grateful for the opportunity and the community.

A photograph of four colorful stickers in a white sage bush. Each sticker has its own narrative, with a colored background, and a collage of various flowers, butterflies. Some include a drawing of my light brown hands: One is baby blue and reads “Together we shape liberation” a images of flowers, butterflies, and hands. A dark green sticker proclaims “Another world is possible.” A vibrant fuchsia sticker states “We are all connected.” A soft lavender sticker declares “We take care of each other.”
