Don and Dennis dive deep into Laura’s career as a poet, educator, and advocate for Indigenous voices, exploring how her early life experiences shaped her art and sense of purpose. Together, they discuss storytelling, identity, and the importance of preserving language and history for future generations. Tune in for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation that honors family, culture, and the enduring strength of the Navajo people.
