In her role as a storyteller within the archive, Nevaeh actively brings identity to the front. As she worked to identify the role she wanted to play in the field of scholarship, she learned to prioritize her Indigeneity within her academic portfolio; and in turn recognized the value that silenced pasts have in telling more holistically truthful stories. Being an urban Native/Chicana woman – Nevaeh has had the opportunity to engage closely with how identity shapes narrative, particularly in multicultural educational institutions and settings, advocating for the voices of changemakers to be heard. Passion has turned into practice. Not one where she casts her own voice, to speak for others - but instead one where she is designing engaging, and tangible platforms for communities to bridge those gaps in our collective memory – where previously their voices have been silenced.
