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!

Chyana Marie Sage
This week I speak with Chyana Marie Sage, Chyana is an award-winning Cree, Metis, and Salish Poet, Author, and model. She is the first Indigenous graduate from Columbia University’s MFA in Creative/Non Fiction. Chyana was the first person in her cohort to become a published author. Her Debut gift to us all is her memoir Soft as Bones . It is an intricately woven story about her life growing up as a middle sister in an abusive household. She intertwines her story of pain, rage, and the generational trauma that so many of our families share, all While, eloquently braiding in the process of healing through Indigenous teachings and ceremony. Chyana has given us a glimpse of hope and resilience. Proof that we can all make it out of the darkness and Soar. Please enjoy my chat with Chyana.
