NEW STORY ALERT: Meredith McCoy and Leslie Locklear are North Carolina born and raised storytellers, educators and Indigenous women. They reflect on three educators (pictured here) who changed their lives by teaching them their Native identities were assets to embrace, not deficits to overcome at the link in our bio.
