🎙️ New Episode Drop: Baratunde Thurston x YAI at Bioneers

We’re launching our Young and Indigenous at Bioneers series with a mic drop of an episode featuring Emmy-nominated host, writer, and speaker Baratunde Thurston.

In this powerful conversation, Raven and Santana talk with Baratunde about healthy masculinity, storytelling as resistance, and how to hold onto Indigenous values in the age of AI.

Together, they dig into what it means to carry and protect knowledge in an era of erasure — and how humor, creativity, and active participation help us build pathways of resistance.

🔥 This episode tackles the big questions:
👉 Is democracy dying?
👉 How do we keep knowledge alive?
👉 What does it mean to be a citizen?
👉 And how can men truly support women?

📍 Recorded live at the 2025 Bioneers Conference, this conversation invites us to look inward and outward — at who we are, and how we can live in good relation with those around us.

🌀 You’re going to want to hit replay on this one.

✨ The One Where We Talk About Being Women ✨

Wykeklyaa, Haley, and Santana get into what it’s like navigating the world as Indigenous women — from the people who shaped them to the stereotypes they’re still breaking down. We’ve been calling this the women’s episode and honestly… what if every month were Women’s History Month? It’s real talk on growing up on the rez, pushing back on expectations, and finding your own way. Oh, and did we mention that we love Noelani?
