Members of the Yurok Tribe told California lawmakers that state's first year using an alert system specifically for missing Native people is making a difference. The Feather Alert system issues public messages similar to the widely used the Amber Alert process. Yurok officials say the new alerts are widely used by tribal members and other Native residents, increasing the chances of finding people who go missing. The California effort is one of the tools in the constant battle against human trafficking that disproportionately affects Native Americans and other people of color. Anyone who has information about a potential human trafficking situation or a person who may be experiencing human trafficking should contact the FBI, local law enforcement, or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 (text: 233733) GUESTS Nicole Matthews (White Earth Band of Ojibwe), executive director of Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition Rebecca Balog (Oglala Lakota, Mohawk, Romani), training and technical assistance program development coordinator for Mending the Sacred Hoop Bonnie Clairmont (Ho-Chunk), victim advocacy specialist for the Tribal Law and Policy Institute

Brandon Eisman is extra.…extra committed to love, acceptance, and diversity; extra focused on creating a positive platform for the LGBTQ+ community; extra determined to keep Lawrence a community supportive of ALL people. A vibrant artist, entertainer, advocate, educator and local personality, Brandon, known as Deja Brooks when performing, has made an impressive, cultural footprint (often beneath a stunning gown) on Lawrence – a city known for academia, diversity and the arts. Eisman's ambition to celebrate compassion and community is as high-reaching as Deja's hair. He is an active contributor to the AIDS Walk, Red Ribbon Art Auction, Cooper's Couture, Lawrence Humane Society, Willow Domestic Violence Center, and board member for Douglas County AIDS Project, Theatre Lawrence and the Lawrence Public Library Friends & Foundation. Recently, Eisman was selected as one of the Unmistakably Local Experts for Explore Lawrence. Additionally, Deja has been crowned the Kansas City Pride Queen 2005, Miss Gay Tri-States America 2009, 1st Alt. to Miss Gay Western States America 2011 and was a serious contender for Miss Gay America, the longest running pageantry system for female impersonation. In March 2020, Deja was crowned the very first Miss Gay Kansas United States and will be competing for the National pageant in November. Despite his numerous accomplishments and titles, Brandon's Transformations Charity Gala and Deja's Reading Rainbow at the Lawrence Public Library are the crown jewels. Transformations, voted 2017's Best Annual Event, has raised over $90,000 for local charities since its inception in 2012 and empowers local men and women to embrace their inner drag queens. At the library, bedecked in one-of-a-kind dresses and over-the-top accessories, Deja hosts a drag queen story time, celebrating families of all kinds, love, friendship and pride for what makes us each unique. Clearly, Eisman is extra. He manages to do all of this while also being the proud parent of a teenage son. He wears multiple hats (each perfectly paired with Louis and Louboutins) and his narrative of hope, kindness and unity gives us life.

An athlete with an interesting story, that's how Jeremy McGhee would classify himself. "I never thought I would be a corporate speaker, but here I am." In an image-rich compelling tale, Jeremy recounts the Bloody Couloir expedition, where he climbed and skied a major backcountry ski route, without the use of his legs. He provokes a deep look in the mirror by explaining how he finds motivation himself and invokes a sense of hope by sharing the exciting things he is involved with now. His presentation is about the immediacy of deciding now what you want in life and getting to work on the little things every day to get there no matter what it takes. Jeremy uses the image of a pioneer, traveling into the wild west for the first time, to paint the picture of how he approaches a life without rules or a sense of entitlement. A pioneer needed to find strength in being adaptable because the world was certainly not going to adapt to them. "Life changes. Roll with the punches," Jeremy likes to say. Appropriately, the title is “How Uncomfortable are You Willing to Get?” Links in this Episode: Jeremy on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jpmcghee/?hl=en (: @jpmcghee) The Big Ask Podcast is hosted by Nicole Matthews as inspired by her book https://www.amazon.com/Permission-Stop-Competing-Start-Creating/dp/1480811947 (Permission) to contact her or learn more about her work please use the links below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msnicolematthews/?hl=en (@msnicolematthews) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigaskpodcast/ (@bigaskpodcast) Twitter: https://twitter.com/henleyco?lang=en (@henleyco) https://www.facebook.com/MsNicoleMatthews (Facebook) http://www.nicolematthews.com (www.nicolematthews.com) http://www.thehenleycompany.com (www.thehenleycompany.com)
