"Little Monsters" - My Interview with Nicola Vigil
Today, I bring you my interview with a young, beautiful, talented, and self-confessed "Little Monster" from the Jicarilla Apache Nation. I've known Nicole ever since she was a baby and watched her grow into a strong, confident and independent Indigenous woman. She shares with us her journey of growing up on the reservation in Dulce, New Mexico, going to the Santa Fe Indian School, being selected valedictorian, receiving a Gates Millennium Scholarship, attending Stanford, becoming an accomplished potter, and being the biggest "Little Monster" out there. Sit back, relax, grab a handful of choke cherries, pour another cup of Tiswin, turn it up, and enjoy my interview with Nicola.
