seminole women, 2016

over the holidays, i took some photos of my younger sisters in traditional seminole clothes. i photographed dante in a patchwork skirt at the old seminole baptist church across the parking lot that used to be my pre-school. some of the photos were featured in apogee journal's #nodapl #still here: native and anti-colonial craft against dispossesion december issue. it was eerie, a quiet + gorgeous piece of land heavy with memories, not all mine.

tia + i decided to do a photo shoot one breezy florida winter day with our dad's old traditional shirt. one of the photos was featured in a piece i wrote for i-D called "beyond braids: the true story of indigenous hair." our dad loved photography + was always following us around with a camera or recorder. we like to remember + honor him in as many ways as we can.

traveling with dante, 2016

in january, my little sister & I took a trip to disney world during our long holiday break in florida (a place that gets v boring after a week). we stayed in some cheesy sports themed disney hotel, and we literally left the parks early every night to hang out in disney springs. yes we are middle aged women!!!

during our spring break, we went to oslo, norway and copenhagen, denmark. oslo was.... not the greatest experience. unfortunately, we encountered some prejudice (read: RACIST) people who made us uncomfortable. but the art district was filled with gorgeous murals and kind locals who deleted the bad taste left in our mouths from the previous days. copenhagen was incredible. we stayed in a hostel, which dante wasn't initially thrilled about, in the middle of nyhavn. the food was great, the city was pretty, and the people had this altruism you don't really see in cities of america. really really want to go back.
