🧡 IYD spotlight featuring Trayvon and Earl Anderson!
“The 2 brothers who are almost polar opposites. Both of them incredibly valuable in their own unique ways. The same in that they have chosen to use their Culture to embark on a journey down their personal Red Road.” - April Giroux (knowledge keeper)
“These boys came to us thru the group but have become family. Their healing is the center of their lives. Being just 14 and 16.. They show us why its important for safe spaces for our men and boys. They are always at the farm and will always find a way when they want/need to go to ceremony — true warriors.” - Chantelle S.
