On our first episode of the Affirm & Amplify Podcast, we speak with Kola Shippentower, an advocate for the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) epidemic, an issue currently affecting tribal communities and indigenous people. During our chat we discuss MMIRW, the importance of representation, being an indigenous person in jiu jitsu and the power of "just a rashguard".
Kola & The Mighty Dames Collaborated on a rashguard, now available for purchase at www.themightydames.com/store.  25% of all profits raised from our collaboration will be donated to the Rising Hearts, with a minimum of $150 donation guaranteed.
Rising Hearts is an Indigenous-led grassroots group devoted to elevating Indigenous voices and promoting intersectional collaborative efforts across all movements with the goals of racial, social, climate, and economic justice.
