“I am originally from Gallup, New Mexico. I was raised about an hour away from Gallup in Crown Point, New Mexico. It’s a very rural area on the Navajo Reservation. Because I grew up in a rural community, there were not many opportunities for me to learn more about my culture and the things that mean the most to me, especially in school. It was difficult for me to go to school and always feel like I was different and didn’t have a place, even though it was my home."
