About

Proud citizen of the Cherokee Nation and three-time Emmy-winning creator of "Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People," the first docuseries program in Indian Country. For more than a decade, I've told stories about Cherokee people, culture, history and heritage. An unapologetic progressive in a red state, my spare time is spent making Oklahoma a better place to live, work and raise a family. As an eighth generation Okie, I believe all Oklahomans deserves the same opportunities regardless of background or status.
