In this episode of Red Man Laughing we talk with author, scholar and artist – Leanne Simpson. Leanne is the author of the incredible “Dancing On Our Turtles Back” and having read the book (going on 12 times now, seriously), I decided that I NEEDED to have Leanne on the podcast to share her empowering and enlightening message. Her book changed my life and I not only wanted to thank her, but I wanted to dig a bit deeper in terms of decolinization and where that journey must start – with us, as individuals.
