A phrase that a mentor used to say to me was "show me your friends and I'll show you your future"
As I've moved through my career, relationships, and mentors, this wisdom has always stuck with me and guided my decisions as I grew my network and close circle.
I want to collect people who I want to turn out like. People who inspire me, push me, and lead with humility and curiosity.
It's one of the reasons I love working with startups and entrepreneurs so much. Entrepreneurs that aspire to make a difference and lead with a learning approach are some of my favorite people to collect.
One of those special people in my life is Rachel L.. When I met Rachel over six years ago now, I knew she was someone I wanted to keep in my circle, someone who led with creativity, hope, and vision for a future that was different from the now. The way she chooses to value and honor those in her life is truly inspiring.
So when Rachel asked me to join her as she embarked on a mission to connect Native Artists with Native art appreciators through Artisans of Nations, I didn't question it.
Now, as we are in the midst of launching a brand new platform curated for sharing the stories of incredible Native artisans, their histories, and their cultures, I am beyond honored to play a small role in marketing these Native artists incredible work.
If you're interested in learning more about our mission, vision, and how we are supporting Native art education programs, please consider following us here or on our page! More to come!
