“Skeg Tash! My name is Hannah Throssell. I am O’odham and Diné. As a bi-cultural Indigenous person, I had the honor of growing up in both of my communities. I am a first-year Master of Social Work Student on the clinical route at Columbia University. My career goal is to be a therapist for rural and urban Native communities once I attain my LCSW. My resolve comes from my son, culture, and communities in Arizona. Higher education is challenging for Indigenous folks, but we must occupy these spaces to improve our tribal nations. Keep pushing, dreaming, researching, creating, and advocating! “
Ahéhee’ – thank you everyone for your support of this week’s scholar highlights in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. I am grateful that I’ve been able to use this platform to recognize some badass Indigenous scholars and offer up a space to share their words of encouragement to fellow students/ aspiring professionals. Please continue to show support and share. ❤️
