I'm grateful every day to be a part of the Catnip Crew community. It's still surreal this happened a week ago and I no longer have this after spending so much time on it, but I have so many memories to look back on! Thank you, everyone, for everything ❤️

I didn't get the job and while I want to say I'm not upset, I'm actually bawling my eyes out right now because I thought I had it.
It's disappointing when "exceedingly qualified" with a master's degree in the field I applied to still isn't qualified enough.

After a few weeks of feeling super low and down and out... I've been called to an in-person interview at a university in WA the day before I leave for London. I'll miss the signing stream, but I am so hopeful for this job to pan out! Fingers crossed it all comes together! 🙏

I've been hesitant to post about this because of my own insecurities, but after the Catnip Crew saw me through the last week, I wanted to give a peek into my project. For context, I do traditional native beading. It's nowhere near finished, but I think it's coming along ❤️

If looking after your community and lifting voices that are too scared to speak is problematic, get used to it because I won't let people feel like they can't be heard.

Real talk here: I'm not used to being noticed for anything, let alone my beading. I was teased in high school because drawing anime was all the rage and I was beading little flowers instrad. So, it's hard for me to accept compliments on what I work on. (1)
