Send us a textWelcome back, this week I speak with Thomas Lopez Jr. AKA Landback Baddie! Thómas was born and bred to be an activist. Having both parents deeply involved in the Chicano and the American Indian movements, Thómas has activism and community action in his blood. As a young adult, Thómas joined the Standing Rock encampment and like so many who were there answered the calling to carry on the torch for global indigenous rights, climate change awareness, and of course the land back movement. But don’t get it twisted, we are talking about activism with a side of body and gender positivity! When he decided to stand in his truth, Thómas noticed his following starting to grow exponentially. Today, he uses his public platform to inspire queer, indigenous people, to walk in their authenticity. What a beautiful gift it is to truly be ourselves. Enjoy the show.

Omar Monroy El Techichi
Send us a textWelcome Back to Lets have a powwow, I am your host Amy Farid. Happy Pride month and for our relatives up north Happy Indigenous History Month! I had the pleasure of talking to Omar Monroy, A Trans, Indigenous Mexican jewelry designer and artist. Omar’s, Jewelry line El Techichi, features statement pieces Hand crafted out of vintage metals and Gemstones. What drew me to their Jewelry was that Omar’s creations seem to tell us a story about Her indigeneity. The pueblo her family is from, the food their Abuelita makes, and the animalitos who inspire her. We discuss her upbringing as an undocumented immigrant living in the Inland Empire, being a fat femme, and the struggle to find their identity and voice. Omar, take it away!Support the show Follow the pod @letshaveapowwowpod Created and Hosted by Amy z.

John Parker
Send us a textHa.Way! Welcome back! This is a special on the road episode. My family friend and brother back home John Parker asked if I would like to help out with hair on the New Sterlin Harjo show filming in Tulsa. Of course I wanted to come back home and work on Sterlins Production cuz it is literally history in the making. But I also wanted to come home and record an episode specifically with JohnParker. John is an unforgettable person. We are kindred spirits and seeing him spread his wings and step into his Light is Beyond exciting! You may recognize John as the Financial Aid Advisor, Ms. Debbie on Season 3 of Rez Dogs. Ms. Debbie stole the show with her 49 songs and hair whippin’ shenanigans! It was literally “a star is born” moment for people that don’t know of JP, but for family and friends we’ve seen the greatness that is John Parker. We record this episode the day after John’s sisters wedding. So here we are on the come down from a beautiful wedding and party, raw and uncut aye!

LHAP is centered around the Urban Indigenous experience in NYC. We will talk about guests Homelands and How and Why they came to the big city. We will also cover culture and fashion as it is a big part of the Podcast Hosts' life. Being a fat, brown woman working in Fashion for over 20 years I've heard it all! Let's Have a Powwow is inspired by those cringe moments we've had in professional settings where someone has suggested "having a powwow" to discuss work stuff. We are reclaiming the word! So join in and enjoy indigenous excellence. Don't worry, everyone is invited, we will also feature some of my favorite Allies!
