✨ Shine through your belief system. A few years ago, Caroline Andrewes, P.Eng, CPA, CMA sat down with me to discuss how important activism is in her personal and professional life. It was rooted in how she grew up. If there is an opportunity and ability to offer service to your community, then it's a privilege to do so. Watch this short video with Caroline to learn why and how to shine through activism.

Meet our new community-elected Advisory Council Member, Tatewin Means! Story behind her name:  My full name is Tatuye Topa Najin Win Means. I carry the Lakota name of my paternal grandmother—she asked that I walk this life with her name so she is never forgotten. In the Lakota language, my name means “the woman that stands with the four directions / winds.” I am very proud of my name as it is a connection to my ancestor. For Indigenous peoples, our names are sacred and carry significant meaning. Where she calls home:  Oglala Makoce, Oceti Sakowin Territory (now called South Dakota) What she has accomplished: I was the Oglala Sioux Tribe (sovereign Indigenous nation) Attorney General from 2012-2017. As the chief law enforcement officer for our nation, I was a part of, and led, many inter-governmental and cross-jurisdictional efforts toward collaborative and restorative justice. I have served on many task forces, advisory boards, and panels sharing insights, offering guidance and expertise, and learning from others in those shared spaces. Additionally, I have participated in several national and international fellowships further developing my network and connections. Why I am honored to be a part of the Advisory Council: I think it is so important for Indigenous representation in all spaces, whether governmental, non-governmental, community, philanthropy, etc. Indigenous peoples and our collective voice is severely underrepresented and often invisible. Indigenous erasure exists, it is ongoing, and it is perpetuated in shared spaces oftentimes unknowingly. As an Indigenous person and Indigenous woman, the inclusion of my voice is a step toward true justice and equity as we are often left out and forgotten in these spaces. I do not speak for all Indigenous peoples, of course, but I bring forward a perspective that is unique and important to these vital conversations and collective efforts. #ocimpact #globalleaders #unconference #socent #nonprofitleaders #advisorycouncil
