We still decide to break out our sketch books and pencils (or insert your passion) to be creative. We knew we wanted it to be more than just a t-shirt or a sticker. I am a mother of the best son and to the three pack of pups, wife, auntie to many, and an Indigenous entrepreneur; co-owner Wenatchi Wear & R Digital Design along side my husband, Rob Lewis.

Indians attending the powwow set up teepees on a level expanse of land where Yaksum (Yaxon) Canyon meets Mission Creek just south of Cashmere, referred to in newspaper accounts as Indian Sams allotment or old Indian Camp Ground, land owned by Mary Felix, one of the remaining Wenatchis in the area.

My only goal in life is to create the best life for my son in anyway that I can.

Where I find my most personal growth, is when I am engaged culturally. That I am alive because of their survival is indescribably hard to comprehend. A local editor also reached out to ask if she could do a half hour segment on Wenatchi Wear and if my uncle Randy would be interested in being in it. Continue to step aside & truly pass the mic to Indigenous Peoples. I recently had the opportunity to speak at a conference that was focused around revitalization of main streets throughout Washington State. Understand we are not monolithic people.
