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!

Indigenous Drag Excellence Featuring Lady Shug & Oliver Herface

Ha.We Relatives!
This week I’m joined by Indigenous drag legends Lady Shug and Oliver Herface, fresh from the First Nations Performing Arts Winter Party here, in Lenapehoking!
From Lady Shug’s groundbreaking appearance on HBO’s We’re Here - the first time I ever saw Indigenous drag on a major network, to Oliver Herface’s work as a Two-Spirit Boricua drag king, producer, and cultural force in Brooklyn, this episode is all about visibility, joy, and decolonizing the stage.
We talk drag, ceremony, community, salsa, sideshow, and what it means to hold space for our people while living fully in our truth.
Thank you to First Nations Performing Arts and Performance Space New York for hosting an unforgettable all-Indigenous drag night.
