so i realized that a couple of yearly events came back around. Dreamspeakers and National Aboriginal Day. More short films and documentaries made by my extended family here in edmonton. soo proud of them and soo gratefull and feelin blessed to have relevant employment where i can bring some of my baby bois and gurls over there to watch them. Moments of inspiration and safety for them while they sleep on concrete in the middle of the day in the alley or at the Hope Mission or get stabbed at the George Spady.

Had a much bigger stage for National Aboriginal Youth Day this year. Feenix got to do his thang while his babies got down all around him. Lots of dope Nechi  performers from all over showed up. Nice to meet them and chekk thurr steez. Me n Travis Emceed (I got to sing later) ever fun eeeee!!! hehe

It's all about build it and they will come this summer. I could feel the power and presence in that outdoor stage space despite the fact that nobody was there.

the Spirit was there, soon to manifest into the physical yoooo!!!

peace out

 feelin the journey to light tonight, as tomorrow is a gala fundraiser for the ihuman youth society. it’s challenging bein a part of a community. specially a community of people from where we comin from. desolate. used that word in the summer n i’ll use it again at the end of winter here. it’s hard to travel away from this city cuz you just don’t want to come back. i came home and stayed. i dreamt of recording my first album here, for me and for my people. i am on the road to doing that. its a long slow road. well spirit is always ahead of earthsoul n physical reality these days filled with wrong ass ways. hasnt been easy for me. so i am one with the struggle and with the journey to light. i am so thankful for hiphop in my life. guna have the blessed opportunity to rep tomorrow. reach a different audience. at least i hope there will be some souls there wanting to be reached. i pray for the strength and the energy to come correct. have so little time to work on my steez. mmmm, all things are as they should be. i will be patient and do what i can for now n pray for better werd...love you, mama

yo, what's chillin people? nechi heads were feelin the hard tracks, perceptionists, blueprint...nice, soul is soul. real warriors out here desolate edmonton alberta, we bring the light and quake the earth. bboyin n bgirlin to the powwow drum on government concrete soil for aboriginal day. can't touch that. blaow-how ya like me now? the rhythm will not allow. puttin one foot in front of the other for the people. bring the heat, we can take it. this photo(me at the decks) is me madd proud and rockin with my people and eekwol. strength came down from saskatoon, i was pumped. rockin mc jazzy g jewellry, and big nechi mamma handmade necklace i felt invincible. fresh jive foosh hoodie behind me and india lotus spirit sicmats on my techs i am a gentle warrior. i am a woman full of rage at the treatment of my great grandmother, my relatives, i use this music to channel it in a good way, in the Creator's name. passion, i am gratefull to be given the opportunity to give the younger generation the love i never got, to soothe them in ways where me, i just had to be hard to survive. i share these words so that more of our collective indian soul will be articulated and in doing so, liberated. i live by the words of lee maracle: "...by laying myself bare i erase invisibility as an option for other young native women." well, i don't think that's the exact quote, i'm not lookin it up waka waka.....feelin you my people, sending love and light with all my might peace peace
