I wanted to do something special this year to try to make a difference. I sat down with a very good childhood friend of mine, who happens to be a member of the Lenni Lenape Nation, to talk about growing up in a small town, relationships and love, raising kids, autism, essential oils and so many other topics. Native American Heritage month (November) culminates in Native American Heritage Day on November 27th, 2020. Check out this incredible video below.
Stills from the video and other images
I released this video on the 27th, to celebrate this incredibly strong, resilient woman. Generally speaking, this video was well received. I was using my platform to aid a voice in finding new ears, exactly what I intended to do. I posted the video to a Facebook group that celebrates that history of Wayne County, only to have this video silenced from the beginning for being inappropriate. The administrators of the group couldn’t even be bothered to read the descriptions of the video (that included pertinent information including both of us being from Wayne County) or even watch the first few minutes of the video where we discuss historical events in that area. Below is the explanation that i got as to why the video was not allowed to be posted.
My Vow
After seeing, in a very direct way, the discriminatory behaviors that still exist against our Native populations, I now have a new fire burning inside me. I will not stop until I can make some sort of positive change. I will continue to be an advocate for those who cannot stand on their own, and a voice for those who need to be heard. Please help me share this incredible story and give Emily the acknowledgement and respect that she deserves, by liking, sharing this video. Help me, help others!
