While wearing a ribbon skirt yesterday, I ran into a yt woman and her 2 teens who held the door for me.
Mom’s face was amazing. She gasped and then her teens stopped: “Oh my gawd! Your outfit is so beautiful!” They all three squealed and I couldn’t help but giggle.
I f*ing love being Native.

Just in case you wanna see how YT “resistance fighters” really view Black and Indigenous people:
She has over 90k followers on Threads and THIS is what she’s using that platform for.

Another cozy read that gave me all the feel good vibes. This is a dad/daughter duo helping people relive memories through nostalgic dishes. They take tiny memories and recreate these dishes for an array of customers.
Lemme know if you’ve read this one!

Fantastic for upper elementary and up.

Please check out my IG for the whole story…but we are in desperate need for a vehicle and I’m trying to raise the funds.
Our son had a bad breakthrough seizure today. It’s amplified our need for a second vehicle since my husband works far and we don’t have help.
Please share🧡

I wanted to like this. The premise was interesting and it started off SO well. I was sucked in immediately. However I kept waiting for a twist. It felt incomplete.
The writing is beautifully captivating. I just couldn’t connect with the story overall in the end.

Beautiful and gentle introduction to residential schools and a peek into Indigenous culture.
Great for the entire family. Sprinkling of Cree that really brings the story to life.
