Your “feel good” album

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE by Ernest

If you had to be any type of bird, what type of bird would you be?

I would say that if I had to pick a bird to be it would be a penguin. Although underestimated by the factthat they can not fly, they are deeply connected to their communities and uses the tools of each member of their colony to help each other to keep warm and survive. I think that having such a good community as a bird would be amazing, plus I love the cold!

What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

As a proud citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and as an Urban Native American, I am motivated to be a change maker so that I can open the doors for others in my communities. I want to help lead others to build upon my work and create culturally relevant programs that can help connect people across the country to the resources they need to heal, connect, and empower communities.
