Over the last two months, I’ve had the opportunity to give keynote presentations at the National Indian Education Association’s 3000 member convention in San Diego (video below) and the first ever National Critical Mixed Race Studies Conference in Chicago.  I also had a great time sharing my message about art and identity with over 2000 kids in the Wapato and Toppenish School Districts in a three day whirlwind tour of eastern Washington. Oh- and speaking to the first generation youth and elders at the International District Housing Alliance through a translator was probably the most enjoyable challenge I’ve had as a public speaker!  (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
