This summer has been a blessing to work with Native Youth. I’ve been working with Native youth for the past 3 years and it is definitely is the HeArt work of what I do. I created an Outreach program & Mentorship with my company NEO. I’ve been sharing my creative process with High School Students and College Students from beginning to end on my design process.

As an Indigenous Fashion Designer it’s important to educate and spread awareness about what the symbolicness of the designs that were created into my collections & the origin stories behind them. I have had the blessings to collaborate, cultivate, and create with Indigenous Artists nationally and globally and come full circle with Native youth.

I believe representation matters and being able to activate and amplify out future generation is important to me and fills my heart and keeps my spirit alive in what I do.

I wanted to share a project that one of the students Monica from Chemewa shared and in collaboration with Oregon State University worked on and the impact it had on her designs and inspirations behind her project Fashion For Forgotton Voices.

Monica created ribbon skirts representing Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and the struggles of the women that have been missing and murdered at an alarmig rate and the affects it has on our communities and families..

Indigneous people are still here, and we are proud of our indigenity & who we are, & our cultural heritage. May we continue the work and leaving a footprint no matter where we go.

It was such an honor to meet jessica Care moore & Steffanie Christi'an while on tour with Talib Kweli. Living Legends as Activists, Poets, Performing Artists, Rock Duo of We Are Scorpio, and Resilient Women in their communities and beyond.

Detroit Poet Laureate Jessica Care Moore and Singer Steffanie Christi’an has released the video for “Scorpio,” featuring fellow Woman Rocker Militia Vox . The single is from their forthcoming album, We Are Scorpio. The women stormed the streets of southwest Detroit while singing about the resilience of their astrological sign. They smile and snarl at the camera as they stake out space on the street, and history. The album was born of their desire to reclaim rock and roll’s Black roots. Moore’s album with Christi’an is the next step in her mission as the founder of Black WOMEN Rock! which celebrates 20 years next month. Talib Kweli co-produced the We Are Scorpio album and is featured on “Supa D**a Star.” The duo’s self-titled album drops on August 16th.

The Gathering on October 19th at the hosted by and curated by NEO is thrilled to have performing and exhibiting their talent.

As two friends that grew up close to one another in Kitimat, BC, Yung Trybez and Young D, naturally connected through their love of music, wrestling and pop culture. Growing up on the ‘Rez’, close to a predominantly white town, the two faced similar challenges, but ultimately found refuge in Hip-hop and inspiration in each other’s talents. Snotty Nose Rez Kids (SNRK) was born in 2016, forged from a life-long friendship between two emcees that used music to create, connect with their culture and language, and as an outlet to express themselves.

SNRK released two albums in 2017, the first a self-titled project, and the second, The Average Savage, just nine months later. Both solid projects by a new group, The Average Savage gained unlikely notoriety for a small release. The Average Savage resulted in SNRK winning Best Hip Hop Act at the Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA), landed them on the coveted Polaris Prize Top-ten Shortlist, and received a nomination for Best Indigenous Music Album from the Juno’s. Rising popularity prepared them for their strongest release in 2019, TRAPLINE, which centred their nation, The Haisla Nation, Haisla teachings, the matriarchs in their lives, and created a bridge to other marginalized experiences, tapping The Sorority, Cartel Madras, Brevner, Boslen, and Kimmortal all for features. TRAPLINE has been streamed over 3million times, it’s music videos, viewed over 800,000 times, and it’s constant radio play kept it on the Earshot Top 10 Hip-Hop charts for over 20 weeks. The album was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize, making SNRK one of only 3 artists to ever be shortlisted in back-to-back years. Amidst it’s success, the duo was recognized as Breakout Artist of 2019 at the WCMA’s.
