- I've been on television for over a decade sharing positive stories from Native Country, and I'd like to continue to do that for a long time. I'm deeply committed to sharing our stories in a positive and entertaining way, and to make sure we continue to have a voice. For too long our people have been treated unfairly and negatively portrayed, and I'd love to help change that.
- It's very important that Native people have a voice in the media so that full and accurate stories can be told.
