Johnnie’s challenge to NextGen Natives Be real, work hard, and love with all your might. In this episode we discuss: Johnnie Jae's unique upbringing for the first seven years of her life. How school taught her that being “Native” was different. Johnnie’s various interests in school (cello, violin, classically trained vocalist) led to her being tokenized, and how that tokenization gave her access to opportunities others may not receive. The complexities of being “Native.” Suicide and the experience of suicide survivors. Johnnie is a multiple suicide-attempt survivor. We talk about addressing the stigma of suicide in Indian Country. The topic begins around the 21 minute mark. I urge you to listen. It’s a difficult topic but we need to have these conversations. Brene Brown’s  TED talks on vulnerability and shame. I feel I’m a broken record because I’ve referenced this several times previously. But I really think it’s important information for Indian Country! How Native Max, A Tribe Called Geek and NextGen Native all have common goals to connect and share stories of different Native groups (nerds, fashionistas, etc.) around the country. Indian Country needs more voices in media telling our stories. How we tell Native youth that they can be successful, but we don’t discuss what it means when you find success and how to handle or navigate it with others. The difference between “walking in two worlds” vs walking in your own two shoes. How YOLO is very similar to the famous quote attributed to Chief Tecumseh. For all the details, listen to the episode.
