I think what’s she means is this ... if this person truly liked this person he wouldn’t be posting this about whom ever she was out of respect for this person because when you genuinely like a person you’d want to protect and keep private anything intimate you had together
Yesterday was ridiculously long but extremely rewarding. 🎓
That’s a wrap for UND. I accomplished what I came here for.
Next stop UCLA for three more letters behind my name & hopefully solutions 🩺. That’s what it’s about for me my ppl & finding solutions for our communities.

This is great I’m writing this down , I’ll be applying for a Ph.D program and I’m scared I won’t have the grit for the whole 9 yards but I’m gonna try.

Wow the level of ignorance is astounding, I mean this is a prime example of how the education system has failed and also how it’s designed to facilitate the erasure of indigenous ppl and our history as sovereign tribal nations. 😔 sigh*
My son last night getting ready to ride bulls. He hit hard right out of the shoot & my heart dropped, he didn’t cry until he was out of the arena and no one could see him. He wiped his tears away & said he was ready to ride again. Cowboy tough is a different kind of tough.
So I made a huge decision to take deferment and start grad school in Fall 2023. My body & my mind needed a break. In the span of two years I lost both my Grandparents. All of my parents are gone now.
I just want to be home on the Rez for a little while longer. ♥️

I understand smh it’s really not that far of a reach if you have what’s called emotional intelligence. . . I don’t understand ppl who don’t understand this, it’s very simple.
I make it a point to encourage & uplift all the ladies especially the Indigenous ones working towards their goals.
Feeling support is so important especially from our own.
A lot of people don’t understand what I’m trying to accomplish by pursuing my PhD
but I am beyond grateful for the people who do understand it & encourage & support me 🥹🫶🏼🩺
If they are making a positive impact and difference they shouldn’t stop, Crabs in a bucket mentality has to stop. Partner up urban & rezzers💕I’m finding urban natives have access to larger platforms that can help being visibility to our issues on the Rez. Learn from each other.
This morning I know that the anxiety & fear that I felt sending my babies to school is what most of us parents are feeling.
& it’s wild that this is reality. Thoughts, prayers, & condolences are sent yes but, in truth they have never been enough and never will be absent ACTION.
I graduate at the end of the week.
Grateful for all the honor ceremonies leading up to this weekend but it was a significant amount of pressure lol each one only adding to it we still had exams every week. This is the first weeknd I’m not studying for an exam since September.
Two years ago I was aspiring to become a Nurse scientist & those aspirations are being realized.
Life really is what you make it… don’t be out here selling yourself short .
Next on my list is to be a successful screenwriter lol 😆 who do I think I am.
A clinic that was planning on offering planned parenthood services was set on fire in Casper last night
On Saturday there will be a Trump rally in Casper where he’ll endorse Harriett Hagman, pro-life, pro-guns, and part of the the let’s ignore science camp.
Lol I hate it here
It’s almost been a year since this. I’m so happy I decided to defer grad school for a year, I have gained so much more insight into what my community needs. I’m gonna miss working in the clinic I’m gonna miss seeing all my relatives.

Also in Tribal council meetings can we bring up how yt ppl are out here representing us on social media as influencers and benefiting off of it 💰
Pride month is very special to me for many reasons, one of them being my favorite Uncle. He came out to my family & everyone was devastated except for me b/c he was still my favorite Uncle to me nothing had changed & it never will
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Happy Pride month!
Bitter & Spiteful could nevvvva be me, I’ve experienced too much pain too much of life has happened to me.
I chose to remain soft through all of it. I will remain that way. My ppls know my character. Others can say and think what they want 🫶🏼
It’s strange that ppl view me as intimidating I’ve never seen myself that way and I’ve been trying to be more approachable.
I’m nice lol come talk to me I wanna hear about your goals and aspirations because I pry know someone that could help you realize them goals 🙌🏼 🔌 ❤️
Very grateful & honored that I’ll be recognized again this year by the National Scholarship Foundation at UND 🎓💚
Dr. Chu is by far one of my favorite mentors I was so happy to get the email notifications.

Held one of my pts while they cried after receiving news they had stage IV cancer, incurable.
Numb with grief is the best way to describe the way it makes me feel. I love this job but sometimes I’m not prepared for it.
The only reason I’m going for my Ph.D. is so I can conduct my own research projects. Projects that are culturally and ethically appropriate and will help improve health outcomes for my community. We need more of our own doing the ground work instead of allowing Napis’ to do it.
I want the Shea back that ran on 4hrs of sleep had time for research, work, school, gym, a skin routine and mom duties while maintaining a 3.5 gpa.
Wya home girl 😟?
My family is hardcore. Yesterday we started with a birthday party & 2 hrs later they threw a graduation reception for 2 grads. Decorating, cooking, & cleaning x2.
Then went bowling with 15 Rez kids & this morning we hit up a 3 on 3 tourney. 🫠
Damn can’t trust anyone you don’t directly know when it comes to Native Influencers sheesh 🙄
How do we navigate this moving forward how do we make sure those representing us are authentic?
Without re-traumatizing and acting like colonizers ourselves demanding to see papers?
I need to set up a scholarship application class/session but none of the people at the high schools will email me back gonna just show up at their front door.
I HATE telling my family members to go to the ER here b/c it’s 50/50 whether they’re going to receive adequate care but there’s no way our little clinic can provide support they need when they are experiencing critical illness.
We need our own hospital. We need to grow our own.
Being the person who broke multiple generational curses in your family is so heavy.
You lack support, but you have to be on your shit all the time, you can’t back down. You deal with all the trauma you have to confront it everyday.
Finally processing things from this past spring & I can't believe that on the day of my Grandfathers funeral I got a call from the college & was told that they were considering dropping me from the program b/c of the amount of time I was gone for traditional funeral proceedings.
This man of mine brought me flowers, hand written note, a promise ring & endless cups of coffee ☕️💙💍♾️
I am beside myself & even more in love than before.

It’s wild to me that for 40 yrs there was zero growth of healthcare services under IHS here. While healthcare off the Rez progressed here it remained stagnant and our already high rates of health disparities remained unaddressed. Preventable conditions.
Love them scholarship notifications
I can feel the stress leaving my body 🫠. I’m sure financial aid is tired of me bothering around lol now I’m gonna be bothering around even more.
One goal of mine is to help contribute to the growth of stronger networks/relationships in our communities. Creating pedestals for individuals to help them be successful is a big goal. I love seeing people succeed. That’s where it’s at.
I absolutely know that my views are way too progressive for just about everyone in Wyoming & North Dakota and I can’t decide if everyone is suffering from brain damage or just severely uninformed
Or both.
