Episode 5: Jordan Marie Daniel & Rosalie Fish
08/17/20 • 39 min
Episode 5 of Not Invisible: Native Womxn on the Frontlines is another double feature with two motivated Native athletes who use their platform to bring awareness to the MMIWG2ST crisis. First, we hear from Jordan Marie Daniel, a citizen of the Kul Wicasa Oyate (Lower Brule Sioux Tribe) who used her love for running to make a statement during the Boston Marathon by wearing a red handprint over her mouth. But her advocacy goes beyond just running as her heart is committed to bringing forth issues such as equality and land protection to mainstream audiences. Her work has inspired others, including our second guest, Rosalie Fish (Cowlitz) to use her athletic platform as well.
