Let's Have a Powwow
LHAP is centered around the Urban Indigenous experience in NYC. We will talk about guests Homelands and How and Why they came to the big city. We will also cover culture and fashion as it is a big part of the Podcast Hosts' life. Being a fat, brown woman working in Fashion for over 20 years I've heard it all! Let's Have a Powwow is inspired by those cringe moments we've had in professional settings where someone has suggested "having a powwow" to discuss work stuff. We are reclaiming the word! So join in and enjoy indigenous excellence. Don't worry, everyone is invited, we will also feature some of my favorite Allies!

LANDBACK BADDIE Thómas Lopez Jr
Welcome back, this week I speak with Thomas Lopez Jr. AKA Landback Baddie! Thómas was born and bred to be an activist. Having both parents deeply involved in the Chicano and the American Indian movements, Thómas has activism and community action in his blood. As a young adult, Thómas joined the Standing Rock encampment and like so many who were there answered the calling to carry on the torch for global indigenous rights, climate change awareness, and of course the land back movement. But don’t get it twisted, we are talking about activism with a side of body and gender positivity! When he decided to stand in his truth, Thómas noticed his following starting to grow exponentially. Today, he uses his public platform to inspire queer, indigenous people, to walk in their authenticity. What a beautiful gift it is to truly be ourselves. Enjoy the show.
