I am a student of history. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs promote fairness and full participation of all people, particularly those of historically marginalized communities, such as Native Americans.

A Storm Coming is the story of my ancestors. It’s about race, love, and redemption. It will transport readers to a culture they know little about and immerse them in an unexplored time period, as they experience the emotions of Jane and the Tuscarora people. Jane is my 7x great-grandmother. I am a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, the largest tribe east of the Mississippi with 55,000 members. A Storm Coming tells the story of America through the lens of a Native American woman.

Native American history is important for understanding how native people have survived and still thrive in the 21st century. Studying history helps us remember and celebrate our unique cultural identity. We are still here.
