Ep. 21 - I Won't Apologize w/Jill Marie Gavin
Explícito
Election season is upon us! At least for the Tribal Members of the Umatilla Indian Reservation! So, what do you look for in a leader? Transparency? Honesty? Shared experiences? Knowledge of traditions? Someone who will listen? Someone looking to improve? Someone with imagination? What if this same leader not only applied these principals to their elected position but also to their everyday life? We want someone who isn't just a "BOT Elected Official" but also a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, THAT auntie (ayez). Someone who is US! In this week's episode Kola gets to dive deep, in a truly authentic & unapologetic conversation with Jill Marie Gavin, who is running for BOT Vice Chair! Jill-Marie Gavin-Harvey (@jillmariejillmarie)
