Meet Jennifer Folayan, a proud Cherokee, Pueblo, and Aztec artist, as she shares her inspiring journey and commitment to Indigenous rights. We discuss:

1️⃣How to make land acknowledgements personal

2️⃣ How to help synchronicities aka miracles find you

3️⃣How to accomplish a big scary goal.

Jennifer also tells the Turtle Island origin story, a version of which is held by many Native groups in North America as an example of someone small fulfilling a huge task.

On the board of the Baltimore American Indian Center, Jennifer discusses the significance of Indigenous People's Day and her successful work to make it a holiday in Baltimore.

With lots of laughter, Jennifer reflects on her heritage, the importance of recognizing land, and the challenges of Native American erasure.

Jennifer also opens up about her personal battles, including growing up in foster care and overcoming childhood abuse.

You will be amazed by her stories of resilience, synchronicity, and a mission to honor Indigenous arts and stories globally.

This heartfelt conversation navigates from local Baltimore initiatives to her role as an ambassador from Turtle Island to South Africa, amplifying Indigenous voices and promoting healing and connection.
